Rick Lauber is a former co-caregiver for his aging parents, where he assumed new – and unexpected – responsibilities, struggled with loss and balancing his time, advocated for his parents (including making key life and financial decisions for his father due to Alzheimer’s disease), and learned many joys of caregiving along the way. Rick is the author of two published caregiver guidebooks and a contributing columnist who writes about caregiving and caregiving-related issues. He shares his insights, lessons learned, and some tips for caregivers with co-hosts Tina McIntosh and Terri Stacy on Caregiver Crossing.
