This is an extremely helpful book especially for anyone dealing with seniors or aging parents. Although I have been in healthcare for 20 plus years, it was difficult to see my mother start to show signs of memory loss and mobility problems. It has been a struggle to address and recognize what we needed to provide for my mother as well as, obtain the assistance she needs. I gained lots of hope and direction from reading this book. It offers so many resources that are available to address the issues of caring for an aging adult. The author was straight forward about what is really happening in our healthcare system today. She provides valuable information that will help caregivers to avoid the many obstacles that exist in trying to provide a safe loving environment to the seniors who provided the same and more for their children. This book is definitely a must read.

Very insightful and thought provoking. We all hear about nursing home horror stories but this gives you a very clear picture from someone who actually sees everything from the "inside" as well as experiences in dealing with nursing homes/insurance from a personal aspect. I like the fact that this is a short, easy-read book with a valuable "work-book" in the back as well as a home safety checklist. If you are a senior or are/will be caring for a senior - you need to read this book!

This is a fabulous informatonal book. As I deal with aging parents and in-laws, this book gives me the much needed information to make informed decisions.
