When Mom Needs Help

When Mom Needs Help is a plain-spoken guide for families caring for a loved one at home - how to have the hard conversations, how to get help without burning out, and how to care well.

Written by LaShonda Schofield, Co-Founder & CEO of Golden Heart Home Care Agency LLC, the Philadelphia home care agency she founded with her sister, this book walks you through what nobody prepares you for: recognizing when Mom needs more help than family can give, talking about it without it becoming a fight, understanding your care options, hiring help you can trust, and building a care plan that doesn't run you into the ground.

LaShonda has been a caregiver since she was seventeen. When her grandmother Bernice - the woman who raised her - grew older, the whole family cared for her in return, all of them together. That experience, and years of serving families across Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware counties, is in every chapter.

For every family sitting at a kitchen table right now, trying to figure out how to care for Mom - this one's for you.
