· Helps caregivers cope with numerous challenges, including parents who need but refuse help; siblings who don't get along; the complexity of healthcare systems; financial issues; juggling work and caregiving; the use of technology; the power of connecting with a loved one who has dementia; and realizing the benefits amid the burdens of caregiving.

Don't leave home without it!"-Ellen Goodman, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and founder of The Conversation Project
