Die Unterstützung alter Menschen in Deutschland durch Betreuungskräfte aus Osteuropa ist zu einer bekannten und beliebten Versorgungsform geworden. Trotz ihrer großen Verbreitung beinhaltet sie viele Schwachstellen hinsichtlich der pflegerischen Qualität, der arbeitsrechtlichen Gestaltung und der ethischen Verantwortung für die Beteiligten. Ansätze zu veränderten Gestaltungsformen kommen von wissenschaftlicher (sozial-)ethischer Seite sowie vom Bundesverband Diakonie Deutschland. Sie favorisieren einen Mix verschiedener Akteur:innen: professionelle Pflege, pflegende Angehörige und verantwortungsbewusste Agenturen. Das Buch zeigt bestehende Probleme auf und benennt denkbare Lösungsstrategien. Es verbindet wissenschaftliche Grundlagen mit praxisorientiertem Vorgehen. Mit Flexibilität und Bereitschaft zu neuer Aufgabenverteilung kann das häusliche Pflegesetting gestaltet werden.

Featured in Stylist's 'Can't Miss' Books of 2023Sometimes I think that carrying - other people, the continuity of history, generational identity, the emotional load of the everyday - is the main thing that women do. In Marina Benjamin's new set of interlinked essays, she turns her astute eye to the tasks once termed 'women's work'. From cooking and cleaning to caring for an ageing relative, A Little Give depicts domestic life anew: as a site of paradox and conflict, but also of solace and profound meaning. Here, productivity sits alongside self-erasure, resentment with tenderness, and the animal self is never far away, perpetually threatening to break through. Drawing on the work of figures such as Natalia Ginzburg, Paula Rego, and Virginia Woolf, Benjamin writes with fierce candour of the struggle to overwrite the gender conditioning that pulls her back into 'the mud-world of pre-feminism' even as she attempts to haul herself out. From her upbringing as the child of immigrants with fixed traditional values, to looking after her mother and seeing her teenager move out of home, she examines her relationships with family, community, her body, even language itself. Ultimately, she shows that a woman's true work may lie at the heart of her humanity, in the pursuit both of transformation and of deep acceptance.

Whether working in the profession or caring for a loved one, the life of a caregiver is full of trials, ups and downs, and is often times a rollercoaster of unexpected events. While the road may not be an easy one, caregivers are always there and never give up on their patients, parents, or the person being cared for. There is something about the tenacious spirit of a caregiver; God equips those who are strong enough to take on the task. Lissette Rodriguez became a caregiver in 2019 of her mother who was diagnosed with dementia and she understands how strong one needs to be to endure the journey. Exhale: A Lifeline for the Life Givers is an encouraging 31-day devotional to give caregivers the gift of Hope and to reassure them God is always present to strengthen them when they feel they are struggling and can't go on.
