The Caregiver's Guardian
How to Protect Your Loved One's Heart, Mind, and Finances from PredatorsBy S. Shields
Length5h 37m
About this audiobook
Book Two of the Scam-Proof Guardian Series.
Patricia was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment in January 2010. By 2020, the disease had progressed to early-onset Alzheimer's. Sam Shields became her end-stage caregiver for fourteen months. He earned his Master Caregiver certification in March 2020 — the same month her care became unsurvivable.
This is the book he wishes had existed.
The Caregiver's Guardian is the universal field manual for anyone caring for a loved one whose memory, body, or independence is failing — Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury, post-surgical decline, any condition that turns family into someone who can no longer fully protect themselves.
Inside: aspiration prevention, medication safety, fall prevention, communication when words fail, end-of-life decisions made with love instead of guilt. Plus the protections caregivers need against predators who target the exhausted and vulnerable.
Books teach. Workbooks reinforce. Apps protect.
