Who is this book for?

Family Members

Caregivers

Whether you're a family member or working as a caregiver inside a seniors' home, the tools in this book are designed to help you establish a Family Relationship Strategy and become a true partner in care.

Did you know that almost 400 families in Canada go through the life-changing experience of entering a loved-one into long-term care, every single day? While it’s a vital part of our health care system, it’s not an easy transition for anyone - including residents, their families, even for caregivers at the home.

This book serves as a detailed roadmap for navigating the emotional and practical challenges of transitioning to long-term care. From understanding the initial steps to building effective partnerships, it provides essential guidance for everyone.

Now What? is a wealth of information for families who are starting a new journey into LTC. Deb shares her personal experiences as a family member, which provide powerful insights into the fear, anxiety, and grief involved when a loved one is admitted to LTC. She also provides hope that the experience can be navigated with grace and thoughtfulness.

LTC is a highly complex environment that can be very scary with a lot of unknowns. Deborah, through her own experience, finds a simplistic way to make LTC a friendly next chapter in a family’s life.

Now What? strikes the perfect balance between Deb’s professional and personal journey into the world of long term care. Her insightful lens balances funny and tender personal anecdotes with a roadmap to loving someone who lives in long term care. Now What reads like a supportive journal written by a friend who’s been there. This is the book I want our staff and new families to read, learn from, and enjoy.
