Care Decisions

How do I...? Where do I...? What should I...?

Caregiving is about making decisions. Lots of decisions.

Seemingly small ones: how do I get him to change his shirt? And big ones: how do I know if she shouldn't live at home anymore? That's a lot of responsibility. It's hard to figure out what you even need to know in order to make decisions.
