Making the Moments Count: Leisure Activities for Caregiving Relationships

I loved the book so much that I read it straight through twice, and wanted to share it with everyone. Since most of us these days have an elderly someone who needs TLC, "Making the Moments Count" is a timely book which deserves to be a best seller. Here's why: First, it's small but complete, taking the reader through the P.I.E.S.S system: Physical,Intellectual, Emotional, Social & Spiritual needs of older adults. Joanne Decker covers the material thoroughly, clearly & concisely. Second, this is not a dry text book. It's an interesting & enjoyable read, full of wit, wisdom & warmth, and illustrated by lovely vignettes drawn from personal experience. Third, this book satisfies the caregivers needs. It's not just about what to do with Mom, but how to have a great relationship with her even though she's not what she used to be.

This book is full of ideas for any person or group dealing with elderly or shut in people. It is encouraging and extremely helpful for care givers and their support people. The stories in the book are great examples of how us slightly younger folks can help make life more comfortable and even fun for others. Rev. "retired" Rae
