Drawing from over twenty-five years of experience, Levy provides caregivers with a model for effective planning and problem-solving, focusing on the nonclinical aspects of caregiving, which are often neglected by medical professionals:

  • Caring for young and old victims of disability, illness, and chronic disorders
  • Finding ways to make our healthcare system work Assembling core information about a loved one's life
  • Developing a realistic view of how much care a loved one needs today and may need tomorrow, and understanding that continuum of care
  • Locating resources that can make a difference in making sure a loved one's care-needs are met
  • Finding a good family caregiver support group
  • Overcoming the roadblocks the caregiver's feelings of distress and failure can create
  • Taking a practical approach to that overused phrase "Take care of yourself."

    • David Levy, JD is a gerontologist and a recognized family caregiver expert. Levy holds a Doctor of Jurisprudence and is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator in family caregiving and a certified Family Conflict Dynamics Profiler.
