What You Need To Know

My dear mother will be turning 80 later this year! Yay, Mom! Thank goodness, she has her health and wits about her. However, I do know that as time passes, that may change. She and I can discuss these issues before such things occur (hopefully, they won't). This book opened my eyes to some realities and responsibilities that will come my way down the years: power of attorney for financial decisions, paying for senior care, hospice care, retirement communities, medication management, special diets, etc. Many more points are covered, but this is what we need to know and deal with as our loved ones age. It's also something you will have to have an important discussion with your loved one. A lot of knowledge here. Definitely worth reading!

So well written!

I learned so much from this book. My family has a few people in their 80s and 90s do I can feel all the issues the family members/ care givers are facing. This book talks about housing needs, both retirement communities to aging at home. From medicine, medical care and how to advocate for your loved ones. From the care givers burned out and how to care for yourself first so you can care for your loved ones and how to get helped from workplace, community, friends and colleagues. It’s just cover everything I needed to make life enjoyable for both my aging family members and us, care givers. Excellent jobs!

IT doesn’t have to be a downward spiral

When you have to help your aging parents it can feel like a never ending spiral, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can help the parents you love and have a life of your own. I know that can seem impossible but it’s not. This book can help you find that path.
