Here is a guidebook...a journal...a diary...that could save your life and provide vital life-enhancing information about you for your future caregivers. Here is your means to influence what your future caregivers will know about you and how they can interact with you. 
One day most of us will find ourselves in need of some form of caregiving. Here is a unique book that provides you (the reader) with an opportunity to lay out all of the critical information you feel a future caregiver might find useful in providing for your care. From your favorite brand of toothpaste to your feelings on use of life support, this "journal" can be your way of enabling future caregivers to know you in ways they never could. 
We may remain in our own homes or find ourselves in a nursing home, an assisted living center, a retirement community, a hospice, a hospital, one of our children's homes, or some other living arrangement. Whether your future caregivers are adult children, siblings, close relatives or friends, or complete strangers, there is a tremendous amount of information about you that most people don't know. Within the pages of this book are hundreds upon hundreds of topics that you can write responses to and increase the potential for better care from those that will serve you and your needs. What ever the situation, the time will most likely come when we will be looked after -- cared for -- by others. 
In one compact guidebook you can share your thoughts on: 
* favorite foods 
* music you enjoy (and don't) 
* medications that need to be taken daily 
* medical conditions that could prove life-threatening 
* your educational background 
* your family tree 
* clothes that you like to wear -- and when 
* your feelings about death and your funeral 
* and hundreds of other important things that could make your life more enjoyable -- and that could even save your life! 
Give your future caregivers the gift of "knowledge" -- knowledge about you! This is perfect for everyone who can appreciate the importance of "information" and how critical information can be in providing the best form of caregiving in your own future.

Who Cares: A Loving Guide for Caregivers

Odds are that most Americans will one day be in the hands of a caregiver. Odds are that the caregiver will not be a spouse or adult child -- but a stranger. Regardless of who cares for us, it is critical that we provide those people with all of the information we can that will make their jobs and our lives easier. This diary-sized book allows any of us to write down those critical bits of data that we want our caregivers to know about us. Here we can share our thoughts on topics ranging from "favorite foods" to "fears," from "the medications I take" to "how I want my funeral to be handled." A stranger -- even our own spouses -- might now know these things. Regarded as one of the most important books to come out in recent years, this new edition adds many new and important features suggested by users around North America. Here's a gift you can give yourself -- and those you love.

The Me You Don't Know: A Loving Gift of Knowledge for My Future Caregivers; Providing Future Caregivers the Most Important Facts About Your Life

Self-Help

Here is the only Guide/Tool that provides families/guardians an opportunity to tell the caregivers in the future, who will take care of their child with special needs, literally EVERYTHING about them. The question most often expressed by parents/guardians is, What happens if I/we die first? This is one reason this book was created -- to provide the child with special needs, a true voice in the future. On these pages, all the pertinent facts and data can be assembled. If the day comes that a new caregiver (a stranger) comes into the life of this child (perhaps, now an adult), this informatio will provide a complete and comprehensive view of just who this person is, how they think, what is important to them, their favorite foods and music, the things they don't like, how they enjoy spending free time, and even the more serious topics -- such as how they want to be remembered and what music they might want played at their funeral. This is a tool that can truly impact the future.

Future Caregiving is a topic that is ignored by the majority of Americans -- who are preoccupied with caring for others and being caregivers. The concept of preparing for the day when we, as individuals, are to be cared for by others, isn't something we eagerly take on as a project. This unique book (in print and electronic version) provides a guide for each of us to tell those in our future, who will care for us when that time comes, everything about us -- things we feel we'd want our caregivers to know about us. If we find ourselves in a long-term care environment, due to something such as a stoke or illness related to a cancer or Alzheimer's, where we might not be known to the caregiver -- beyond our name, medical condition and various medications prescribed, this guide will tell our caregivers every conceivable fact about ourselves. When the day comes that we may not be able to speak for ourselves, we can have a voice in our own future care.

Everything About ME: A Guide for My Future Caregivers

With the huge numbers of American soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with injuries requiring long-term care -- possibly life-long care, this book (print and electronic versions) provides individuals and their families with a way to create a true tool that can be used by any caregiver who ever works with this person.

This book, when completed, will tell all who use it every important fact about them: how I feel about life support, my favorite foods, the TV programs I dislike, how I'd like to have my obituary read, and my funeral conducted. When the time comes that a once vibrant individual required round-the-clock caregiving, and may not have a voice left o speak with -- this book can be that voice tell all who use it everything you want known.
