DOVER, N.H. (PRWEB) February 21, 2018 -- Michaela Drake, MHA, RN, a practicing nurse in northern New England with over thirty-five years of supervisory and directorial experience, has completed her book “I Don’t Know How to Smile”: a comprehensive practical guide to caring for dependent elders.
“I Don’t Know How to Smile” is a firsthand account of a two-year, all-encompassing experience of an RN caring for her husband in their home until his eventual death. After this experience, this nurse of thirty-five years felt a need to help people who are considering caring for their dependent elder yet are doubtful of their ability to do so. This is a not only a love story and memoir, but also a veritable textbook/manual on planning and executing a loving and safe experience for all. Topics include significant information about the difference in types of long-term facilities available as well as actual nursing care practices, references to sources of help in the caring process, and a guide to ascertain one’s chances of success in attempting this endeavor at home. Written in a caring and empathetic manner, her purpose is to allay caregiver fear and frustration at the lack of actual valuable information readily available to potential caregivers. A direct e-mail address for questions from readers is included.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Michaela Drake’s guide for potential caregivers provides valuable information to help family members ensure the safety and comfort of their loved one.
