True Calling - Inspirational Stories and Resources for Caregivers

When author Laura Marie Patterson first conceived her idea for writing this book, it was to be a book of tips and resources much like a handbook. What resulted was much more than a reference guide but an intimate look at her personal relationships with both the clients she served and the interaction with their families. For those that are not familiar with care-giving for a client or loved one, the daily routine is so much more than you might expect. Beyond the physical care of assisting with bathing, dressing, exercising and meal preparation, there are the everyday issues of life that require emotional support and in some cases cautious intervention. It's for this reason that Laura Marie decided to chronicle her actual care giving experiences and reference these stories to practical tips and resources. The result is a one of a kind, true to life book and reference guide that everyone can benefit from reading.
