    RESPITE CARE - CARING FOR THE CAREGIVER

    Without scheduled respite, caregivers run the risk of burnout, exhaustion or other stress-related illness, thus endangering the very person they are caring for. Caregiver Support Groups, retreats, adult day care and anger management groups are just some of the tools that enable caregivers to cope. Featuring Dr. Donna Benton of USC's Andrus School of Gerontology's 48-hr retreats, this video covers a variety of respite scenarios and explores safeguarding the well-being of caregivers.

    Review
  • "The Strength of this video is that it not only stresses how important it is for the caregiver to take care of him or herself, but also defines ways in which to do this. After viewing Respite Care, it is understood that caring for the caregiver is not a luxury, but rather a necessity that benefits not only the caregiver, but also the individual who is being cared for. Recommended for an aging, death and dying, psychology, social work, nursing, or health sciences collections in an academic library. Also recommended for public libraries as well as hospital libraries." - Michele M. Arcury, Educational Media Reviews On-Line, Rachel R. Savarion Library, Trocaire College, Buffalo, NY

    & THOU SHALT HONOR: THE NATIONAL BEST SELLER ON CAREGIVING

    & Thou Shalt Honor documents an exciting new stage in our cultural development. While the huge increase in the number of caregivers in our society can be said to be a result of the success of medical technology, it also represents a breakthrough in our growth as an extended family. During the second half of the 20th Century, advances in medical technology made it possible for individuals to survive for years with diseases and chronic conditions that would have made a rapid death just a few years before. Though laudable, this created a new population of persons in need of caregiving and, therefore, a new population of caregivers. Many, if not most, of us will be both in our lifetimes a caregiver and the cared-for. We may slip into these roles so gradually that we scarcely realize it. Or, as the social scientists say, we may not self-identify. & Thou Shalt Honor examines the various aspects of caregiving in a warm and caring documentary. Never has there been such a resource on caregiving. This 2-part series is filled with teachable moments that make it a MUST OWN for public libraries, corporations, universities, nursing & medical schools, aging facilities, hospitals and anyone involved with caregiving issues and concerns.

    Reviews
  • "This well-organized, informative production suggests ways in which society can improve the quality of life for the growing number of families responsible for the care of cherished relatives." - Nancy McCray,Booklist

  • "In spite of the difficulties of caregiving, 'And Thou Shalt Honor' emphasizes that not everything about the task is negative. The program highlights the work being done by such pioneers in the field as Dr. Bill Thomas, founder of the Eden Alternative, an innovative approach to nursing home care; Dr. Donna Benton of the University of California, who is part of a respite program focused on helping caregivers learn to take care of themselves; and Dr. James Pacala, director of the Aging Game at the University of Minnesota. Pacala's program is an initiative aimed at helping medical students and health-care professionals understand the daily challenges facing those who deal with aging and illness."- Korky Vann, The Hartford Courant

  • "Caregiving is one of the most challenging tasks a person can take on, especially if the situation lasts for more than a few months. You can't do it all yourself. You need help, and lots of it." - Gloria Cavanaugh, American Society on Aging (Prevention Magazine, October 2002)
