This could be a helpful guide to skim through well before you need it as a resource for your own parents. Found some of the topics came too late for our family.

I skimmed through this and like many other reviewers let people who would actually benefit from this read it. My mom thought this book was helpful as she was taking care of my grandmother at that time, and she jokes that I WILL need this when she gets older. My husband keeps it in his office, his line of work finds him helping people through elder care decisions and having a resource like this can prove helpful.

I received this through LibraryThings' giveaways and thankfully so. A great book for all of those caregivers out there. It is not a book you curl up with and read cover to cover in one shot, but one that will be useful skimmed and then looked at over and over. The information is good and up to date, the stories hit home and are useful. While this subject is on that most of us never want to deal with, we can end up caring for someone unexpectedly and unprepared.

This is an excellent guide with current information. It is a great asset and will help families find answers to questions and concerns they have on the different ways the can help take care of their elderly loved ones.
