This book has helped us more than any other with our mom.,
By Moe Ross (Bull Valley,Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pitching In : When Your Elderly Parents Need Help (Paperback)
We had been at a loss with our situation with our elderly mom. Many people have given us advice but when we found this book, it was as if we were given a clear map while in a foreign land. Pitching In is concise and covers exactly the topics that we have needed to handle such a complex situation. We recommend it to everyone who is wanting to be responsible and loving with the care of their elderly parents. So many emotions have hooked us at times and this book has been like a refuge in the storm. We have carried it with us and used it as if we had professional speaking to us. Please thank the author. We are recommending it to every one we know because we of its accuracy... proven to us... and so much information in one book.

ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS,
By Mary P. Baumel (Los Altos, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pitching In : When Your Elderly Parents Need Help (Paperback)
PITCHING IN by Sani Ross is an excellent and easy guide for anyone needing to address care of a parent. The format is clear and concise with Tips and Reality Checks and Examples to illustrate facts.It is easy to scan and can help you prepare to ask the right questions which is so often the key to getting accurate information. It is a good reference for the more recently relevant concerns about such things as Elder Law and Medicaid Planning. I highly recommend this book.

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift?,
By Judith Wolfe (Huntington Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pitching In : When Your Elderly Parents Need Help (Paperback)
Don't wait! Buy this book NOW before you actually need it. Send one to a friend with elderly parents. too. It can save a lot of headaches and worries. I was faced with the totally unexpected dilemma of caring for my boyfriend's 84 year old ill mother. There were so many questions that needed answering and so many options to consider. I was totally bewildered. A friend recommended Pitching In. The book is full of helpful ideas and provides a step-by-step approach to handling such a situation. It is important to have a plan for caring for the elderly before it becomes necessary. With this book and all of it's valuable information one can discuss all the options with his parents before it's too late. A REAL GODSEND!
