The elderly often need to downsize their lives and lifestyles due to financial, economic, physical, health, or emotional needs. Estate Downsizing for Caregivers is aimed at caregivers and explains how they can help an elderly person with the process of downsizing, while reducing the stress that comes with a big move. Deciding what to do with a lifetime worth of treasures can be a daunting task. It is important not to overstep and begin discarding items that may not seem important; someoneâs life and memories are being reduced. As a caregiver, you can help ease the process as there are things you can do to expedite the process while making it easier on the elderly person. This book is designed for caregivers of all types: spouses, adult children, siblings, nurses, neighbors, friends, and caregiving professionals. Estate Downsizing for Caregivers will help all kinds of caregivers ask the right questions, deal with the stress of minimizing a seniorâs household possessions, and understand why a simple task can turn into a monumental issue (and how you can make it less stressful for all involved). The download kit includes worksheets and checklists to help readers stay organized. - NBN
Written as a segue from the final chapter of the writer's previous publication, this guide to downsizing addresses the growing need of individuals and caregivers in planning and carrying out downsizing tasks while transitioning their premises to smaller places and spaces. For caregivers of all stripes, be they spouses, adult children, siblings, friends, neighbors, downsize companies or care-giving individuals, it offers essential planning steps for downsizing one's life and for providing assistance in downsizing another's life in an organized and meaningful way.
With the use of questionnaires, to-do lists, goal setting exercises, and sample scenarios, readers are guided in selecting advisors to team up with who will provide legal and practical advice and assistance in establishing priorities through to completion. The guide includes helpful hints on how to get and give help and deal with the stresses of juggling simple tasks as they become monumental challenges.
