Thank you for a wonderful, thought-provoking discussion with Deborah. Her book, Now What?, transformed me as a caregiver, allowing me a more relaxed way of being with staff. Once hesitant about LTC, I am now a fan of those who tirelessly work to care not only for my loved one’s physical needs, but her emotional ones as well.
