Apparently, I'm the Caregiver is a practical guide for families caring for aging parents. Across 32 chapters, Graham Ellery addresses appointments, hospital discharge, dementia, family responsibilities, long-distance care, hiring help, boundaries, and respite. Worked examples, conversation scripts, 39 illustrations, and reusable tools help readers organize the next step while keeping the older person's choices and the caregiver's limits in view. This is a U.S.-focused educational handbook; the family scenarios are fictional teaching examples.

Useful angles for your readers

• The invisible work of caregiving: why “let me know what you need” still leaves one person coordinating.
• From a kind offer to a clear agreement: name a task, a finish line, and a backup.
• A useful first week: organize the next decision without trying to solve every future problem.

These are suggested editorial angles, not claims of clinical expertise or endorsements.
