About Laurel

After caring for my mother-in-law for three years while she suffered from advanced Alzheimer's disease and as a paid caregiver for a year, I learned that hydration, nutrition, conversation, and myriad other personal attentions can make a vast difference in one's quality of life in the twilight years. Patience is the key and valuing all life's stages is required. Embracing the humor in any given situation lightens the caregivers mood and valuing yourself and your tasks helps in facing any and all challenges.
