Elder Care for the Millennium is the kindest, friendliest, most comprehensive book for use by the sandwich generation who are caring for elderly loved ones. It is also a wonderful planning tool for independent senior citizens. I only wish the book had been available two years ago when I was caring for family members. It would have answered many concerns and questions. -- Susan A. Raskin, CEO Prime Choices, Ltd.

Foreword: This book is the product of our experiences while caring for our aging parents. It became quickly clear that education; intelligence and achievements in other areas meant nothing when compared to taking on this challenge. We were initially overwhelmed. In our search for quidance, we discovered that there was good information available. However, it was not organized or easily accessible. It became clear that we had to take the initiative. We wanted to help others in similar circumstances. The result is this book. It is our hope that this quide will serve you well. May you find it a useful resource for coping with eldercare issues.
