After being a caregiver for her parents and husband, Jennifer O’Brien is empowering caregivers so they come through it healthy physically, emotionally, financially, and mentally.  In her new book Care Boss, Jennifer has designed strategies and resources to support caregivers.  Her 35+ years in healthcare leadership, partnered with all her years as an unpaid family caregiver, equipped her to write the guidebook that caregivers can use to navigate the care of their Person.  

If you’re one of the over 54 million unpaid caregivers across the U.S., the advice that Care Boss offers is a great tool to put in your toolbox.  Caregivers take on roles as advocate, spokesperson, decision-maker, mediator, comforter, grievers, and financial manager.  Caregivers need great resources.  Care Boss by Jennifer O’Brien gives caregivers what they need.
