"I knew you'd be an idiot," said Mary, one of Colleen Nicol's senior clients early in their first day together. Mary's uninhibited comment reflected her disappointment that Nicol didn't know how to make salmon croquettes. Despite the shaky start, client and caregiver became fast friends.
Nicol's experiences as an in-home caregiver are often humorous, always poignant and sometimes sad. In the flick of a sentence, these tales jump from moments of high drama to sparks of laugh-out-loud hilarity. You'll meet the 94-year old gigolo, the blind lady who could suddenly see, the woman who couldn't stop shopping and the elderly man whose cookie-eating dog was definitely in charge.
But Nicol's book goes well beyond the stories. It's filled with caregiving tips, expert advice and important resources.
To put it simply, Senior Days is an inspiring, indispensable guide for caregivers, both family and professional.
"Senior Days: Insightful Tales and No-Nonsense Help from the Frontlines of Eldercare" was written by Colleen Nicol with Brian Nicol and is published by Long Lake Press. This book features caring comments, resources, an index and illustrations.
