Abstract
This informal piece offers tips to family caregivers, based on my personal experience as a social work educator who temporarily moved in with my mother, who lives with dementia. Lessons learned are distilled into 11 tips that are respectfully offered to other social work educators who have the blessing and the challenge of caring for their older loved ones.
