Derrick Y. McDaniel, (Mr. Eldercare 101™) has literally written the book on Eldercare. He works with caregivers to provide the absolute best care to their elderly loved ones while simultaneously helping them to care for themselves, their families and their careers.
Two decades ago Mr. McDaniel entered the eldercare industry on the client side. As the primary caregiver to his grandmother his initial industry experiences were from the caregiver perspective – as he cared for an aging loved one and frequently found himself confused, anxious, tired etc. His role as a caregiver continues to influence his outlooks and he typically writes and speaks from a “caregiver-centric” perspective.
With over 2 decades experience he’s now a recognized industry expert and popular speaker who effectively communicates practical guidance on topics related to eldercare. He frequently consults to caregivers and develops solutions to the myriad of financial, legal, professional, and personal challenges they face when caring for an aging loved one. Mr. McDaniel writes for national publications and his critically acclaimed book Eldercare, The Essential Guide To Caring For Your Loved One and Yourself answers every important question a caregiver can ask. Mr. McDaniel also host both the Mr. Eldercare101™ podcast and video series.
