Taxation & Estate Planning

The MIT Workplace Center has recently published a Family Caregiver Handbook, which is available for free viewing on-line.  The handbook deals with such matters as Financial and Legal Issues, Home Health Care & End of Life Care, Caregiver Support, Housing and Transportation, and How to Get Involved.

The book serves as a gateway to the resources available to families and caregivers.  Rather than providing a lot of substantive information, the handbook gives a summary of the issues (such as a summary of MassHealth programs, or the different types of respite care available for caregivers) and then provides the contact information for local and national groups, associations, and government agencies that can provide the necessary services.

This handbook is a great resource  for  seniors, their caregivers and professionals who work with them.
