To help you determine what level of stress you may be experiencing in your role as a caregiver, a group of leading eldercare and caregiver stress experts have developed this brief survey.  Your answers are completely confidential and there are no right or wrong answers. Once completed, an assessment of your responses will give you the resources to help you make your personal caregiving experience more rewarding and maintain your own health and spirits.

    I have a copy of a poem read by Mary Maxwell in a video called "A Reminder that Laughter is the Best Medicine". The poem is BLESSED IN AGING..BY Esther Mary Walker. I would like to use it in my new book: ROBBERS OF THE MIND.. Do you know how to get in touch with her?

      I believe Ms. Walker passed away in 2005. Her poem, Beatituties for Friends of the Aged, was written in 1958 when she was providing care for her own mother. I'm sorry that I don't have any contact information for her family. Cat Koehler Social Media Advocate Home Instead Senior care
