A Man's Perspective on Caregiving

Seth B. Goldsmith, a director of company that operates nursing homes and assisted-living facilities, discusses his role as caregiver for his wife. The Caregiver.com article lays out Goldsmith's ten steps for effective caregiving, which he developed as a result of conversations with friends and family after his wife's death in 1995. The male perspective is often missing from the caregiving dialogue, even though 25% to 41% of family caregivers are men.
