Are You Caring for Your

- Did you consider financial and legal matters? Who would pay for the costs? Who would be the guardian, the beneficiaries? The legal professionals you could trust?
- What about the increased time and costs involved with medical care? Who would arrange to care for your elder family members if you live hundreds or thousands of miles away?
- How do you know who to trust to provide the best care possible for your elder loved ones? Do you know the right questions to ask their doctor?
- Do you have a fail proof system in place to keep track of critical medical data, including medications, scheduled appointments, and emergency resources?
Dear Friend and Caregiver:
My name is Barbara Friesner.
I’d like to introduce myself and why I’m qualified to discuss these challenging, but very important topics with you. I realize this isn’t something most of us want to think about until it’s usually too late.
But please think for a moment what spending just a few hours preparing yourself with the answers to almost every imaginable tough question you could encounter while caring for elder loved ones could do for you, your siblings, your parent’s future, and your sanity.
I’m a Generational Coach, Adjunct Professor at Cornell University, author, national speaker and seminar leader, and the host of a nationally syndicated talk show called Age Wise Living.
I have been called the country’s leading authority on the topic of elder care issues by The National Association of Baby Boomer Women and Midwest Caregiver’s Magazine. Additionally, I have been quoted in dozens of newspapers and periodicals across the country.
What I’m about to share with you will probably be the most valuable resource on eldercare you could obtain anywhere.
You could, if you chose to, spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars methodically researching, gathering, and reading book after book about the issues affecting your role as a caregiver to an elderly loved one.
But why would you?
“I had had a nagging voice in my head telling me that I needed to make some changes regarding my 92 year old Dad’s living circumstances for a number of months. I spoke to my Dad often about different ideas and options and felt I had made excellent arguments but they fell (please forgive me) on “deaf ears” and I was not able to prevail. I cannot stop recommending your website and your Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System to one and all and strongly believe that everyone should avail themselves of this information and your expertise. Armed with all the knowledge I needed, I was able to help my Dad make the decision to finally move into a lovely assisted living residence. In fact, within 2 weeks (yes, just 2 weeks!) of buying The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System, I was able to accomplish what I had struggled with for months. It is a good fit as he seems to be thriving there and I am tickled pink. As you can imagine I will forever be grateful to you for giving your students the benefit of your amazing knowledge, limitless information, guidance, patience, kindness, genuine sincerity, integrity and warmth.” —Gail Proto |

I’d like to share a little about my story and what qualifies me to help you.
My journey began over 25 years ago as the caregiver to first my grandmother, and then my mother who had severe advanced dementia.
When I began on this journey long ago, I had absolutely no idea how to handle the dozens of issues that were continually changing like cloud formations in the sky. I was lucky that my grandmother had 24/7 caregivers, but I still needed to make sure there was staff at all times; I needed to settle staffing issues, which were endless; handle her finances and legal issues; and continue to manage her home.
All this while raising a family and holding down a full time job. Sound familiar?
Then after my father died, it was clear my mother was more forgetful. Since I lived in another city, I didn’t notice the changes right away. I thought the forgetfulness was due to increased stress because my father had been very ill.
After my father passed away, it was obvious that there were memory problems with my mother. Since my mother and I had never been as close as my grandmother, I began struggling with her about important issues such as finances, driving, and alternative housing.
I couldn’t understand why my mother made it so difficult on me, when all I was trying to do was HELP her! After numerous unsuccessful attempts at positive communication, I finally realized that the real issues with my mother came out of our generational differences.
That was over 17 years ago.

Since then I have dedicated my life to exhaustive research, talked with hundreds of seniors and their families, and worked with hundreds of clients to create a very simple step-by-step and easy to follow program called The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System.
Remember a little earlier I mentioned that you can either solve your eldercare issues by choice or crisis. It’s sort of like a “pay now or pay later” scenario.
But it doesn’t have to be this way at all.
In fact you can literally “short circuit” future problems by simply understanding the basics that will shave hundreds of hours off your eldercare “learning curve.”
Did you know that today, the average baby boomer parents are living much longer? In fact, eldercare has become a stage of life much the way of childhood, adulthood, and parenthood.
“I was thrust suddenly into the caregiver role for my father who lives 2,500 miles away. I was lucky to stumble onto AgeWiseLiving website and found a gold mine of information. Reading the past newsletters gave me hope that I didn't have to reinvent the wheel and that support was available. They provided extensive background information and resources for me that would have taken many hours to find on my own. And then I found The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System. Everything was laid out for me so I could address any issue that came up. Then I listened to the seminars. From the very first moment of the very first one I kept saying “That’s it! That’s exactly it!”. (How do you know my Dad?) They completely rounded it all out for me. With The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System, we are finally resolving issues that my father wouldn't even talk to me about before.” —Rochelle Agar |

The average time most baby boomers
are involved in their parent’s care
is 15 - 20 years!
That's a long time to struggle with trial and error. Don’t you think it’s vital to learn how to do it right?
Can you afford to make financial, emotionally draining, and costly legal mistakes that will have adverse affects on your parent’s quality of life, and your own?
I have poured all of my 25 plus years of eldercare experience into developing The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System into an amazingly comprehensive and all-inclusive information-rich resource that is guaranteed to address the mass majority of puzzling questions, roadblocks, and communication breakdowns that are very typical of eldercare in today’s world.

“Dear Barbara We go along the road in life and it is a winding pathway of the unknown that turns out to be a mixed blessing in disguise and that is what has happened to me this past month and a half. I have always told my children that our words and our actions have a deep impact on others so always try to do what is right! When I found your Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System I knew that you Barbara have a gift from heaven to help others with elderly family members that affects whole households. You have a way of drawing out the strength and the courage to help family members to do what is right in honoring their loved ones. As a result of Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System, this year was the first year that our whole family was together for Mother’s Day in 8 years! I know both of us hold our Mon’s hand with gratitude and thanksgiving. Because of you, this year we are truly blessed!” —Pam Stareshevsky |

Think of The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System
as Having a Non-Judgmental Mentor
Gently Guiding You Through a Dark Tunnel
Realistically, what would you have to pay if you had to collect all of this information on your own by…
- Hiring psychologists for emotional support and guidance?
- Seeking expensive elder law attorneys for family planning?
- Contracting with professional organizers to handle the material excess?
- Spending hours and hours of research on the internet – what is your time worth?
- Purchasing book after book for current resource information all dealing with various topics?
$1,000? $2,500? $5,000?
You could easily spend in upwards of $10,000 or more to obtain all of the information you’ll get in The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System.
But you don’t need to spend even a minor fraction of that.
“You rock! My mother was literally going crazy trying to help her parents and my father’s parents. It was so painful to watch, especially since I’m away at college and couldn’t do much to help. I decided to do some research on the Internet to see if I could find some support for her and found your website and your Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System. I got it for her for Mother’s Day and it was the best present I could have ever gotten her! In fact, for the first time since she started caring for her father, he is actually doing what's best for him - and he's doing it willingly! That's the truly amazing part! I know it's what you said would happen but he's so stubborn, no one believed it really would. Now my mother is smiling again. She even carries the Success Guide around with her everywhere she goes! (I think she thinks it’s her ‘good luck charm’!) Thank you!” —Angela Silvang |

“I can't thank you enough for your Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System. In putting together a support group, I spent hours extracting information wherever I could find it. Coming from a nursing background it is difficult for me to deal with situations where you can’t formulate a plan of action, implement, and evaluate. The nurse in me just doesn't go away that easy, and it frustrates me. Then I found your Success System, and there was all the information we needed in 1 place! Best of all, it was laid out in a way that anyone can follow regardless of the issue you’re dealing with at that moment. I can’t believe how easy it is to follow. And I love the CD with all the forms, so I can share them with the whole group. Now I can move forward and get this going. But I have to admit, I'm the one benefiting the most! You are a gem and I hope to meet you someday. You gave me great hope that we can all be successful.” —Patty Tallegra “PS: OOPS, I forgot to say, I love your website. I found it so valuable, I hope others do too. You are truly doing a huge favor to those who use it. Most everyone will have to deal with aging parents at one time or another. Great job!” |

“I stumbled across your website and read some of your newsletters. It was obvious you know your stuff so I bought The Ultimate Caregiver’s Success System. (I figured, since you have a money-back guarantee, I had nothing to lose!) Wow! I decided to start with the CDs. I listened and nodded my head "Yes" to everything you were saying. I have been going thru this with my aging father and you described him to a “T”. I get incredibly emotional seeing my father age and not be the father I use to have. It is so hard, and I never knew it would be like this. No one teaches you this stuff when you’re growing up. You know? You are a bright spot of clarity and simplicity in a murky world of information on how to help our parents. Thank you for your wonderful information. It has made all the difference in our relationship. ” —Rita Castanza |
