Though this post is about a “caregivers” kit, I think the
publications are of general interest, not just to caregivers.
I read about the US government’s “Family Caregivers Kit” in the Dear Abby column in yesterday’s paper. The kit is basically nine
government publications packaged together as a kit.
The nine publications are:
- Consumer Action Handbook
- Health Scams
- Money Smart for Older Adults
- Managing Someone Else’s Money: Help for Agents Under a Power of Attorney
- Managing Someone Else’s Money: Help for Court-Appointed Guardians of Property and Conservators
- Managing Someone Else’s Money: Help for Representative Payees and VA Fiduciaries
- Managing Someone Else’s Money: Help for Trustees Under a Revocable Living Trust
- My Medicines
- Use Medicines Wisely
You can download these nine booklets or read them online here:

Or you can order the complete kit online here:

Or by calling 888-878-3256 (weekdays, 8am to 8pm, ET).
The “Managing Someone Else’s Money” series of booklets looks especially useful.
