Making it work: How to successfully navigate home care with family caregiving involvement

It’s good to get to know each other, but I think you also have to keep that
professional boundary role. So, you know, what is the information they need to
know to provide the best care? And what, and how can you as the family provide
that in a way that’s respecting the person that he or she’ll be caring for.
Respecting their privacy and boundaries and dignity. But also giving them the
specifics that they need to give the best care. I think it was
important to communicate that my grandfather had been a prisoner of war during
World War II.
