Eldercare expert Joy Loverde has spent her career helping people prepare for what’s ahead
A visit to a nursing home on Thanksgiving morning as a volunteer changed everything for Joy Loverde. She was just 14 then, but sitting with seven lonely seniors on a holiday got to her.
“Covid changed everything for caregiving,” says Loverde. “How we go about finding help is new. The help we assumed was there is no longer there. It’s a whole different world. So I rewrote the whole book.” Then Loverde goes down different paths you can take depending on your situation, listing the steps you need to take and resources that can help you along the way. “The book is written from many caregiver perspectives – spouse, sibling, LGBTQ+ partners. Everyone’s plans will be different,” Loverde says.
Take the much-desired plan of “aging in place” for seniors. “How many times do people say that phrase? Everyone says they want to age in place,” says Loverde. “But nobody knows how to age in place.”
