As seen on NBC s Today Show and CNNFN s Your Money with Ali Veshi, speaker and author, Valerie VanBooven RN, BSN, PGCM is one of the nation s leading long-term care experts and consultant for consumers and professionals. Planning ahead for long-term care needs is more important than ever. However, many families find themselves in the midst of crisis with an aging family member, and need immediate assistance and answers to all of their questions. Valerie addresses both of those issues through her speaking engagements and through her books: The Senior Solution: A Family Guide to Keeping Seniors Home for Life! and Aging Answers: Secrets to Successful Long-Term Care Planning, Caregiving, and Crisis Management . Professionals and business owners who serve the senior market want to know the secrets to obtaining more private pay clients for longer periods of time. This includes health care providers, elder law attorneys, and financial advisors. They want to know how to fill their financial practices, elder law practices, home care agencies, adult day cares, independent living communities, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes with consumers who need their help-- in the most efficient and cost effective manor possible. Senior service providers also want to know how to reach adult children of aging parents with their message. Valerie offers consultation and coaching for any business owner, marketing director, or franchise who wants to learn those secrets. Valerie currently serves as the National Marketing Director for Next Generation Financial Services a division of 1st Mariner Bank.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where was she when I needed her?, October 3, 2007
By Steve King (Indianapolis, IN, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having seen four of my family members, including both sets of parents and in-law parents who have needed special care and attention during periods of aging, disability and dying, I had to learn by trial and error. Unfortunately, many times it was by error.

Valerie has clearly and concisely covered a very difficult subject in a very easy to read, relatively short book. She is to be commended for including such areas as VA Home Aid and Attendant Services Grants. I had never heard about them before. She also establishes reverse mortgages as a viable way of handling financial needs for seniors aged 62 and over. At the end of the book is a very comprehensive reference guide to several outstanding websites.

All in all, this book is outstanding....especially as more and more people are aging and joining the "sandwich generation"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Need help with ageing parents? Start here!!, September 23, 2007
By Richard Curnow, CSA (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
When you're faced with the problem(s) of dealing with ageing parents, your spouse, or even your own situation, you must start somewhere. This book not only provides the place to start, it explains in understandable language what to do, why do it, and how. I've been professionally counseling seniors for the past five years, and without a doubt, this is the most complete, easy to read and understand book you'll find. In addition to a concise, thorough and clear text, the author includes an abundance of references to help you find even more information to guide you in finding solutions to your individual situation. You won't go wrong with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Senior Solution, September 21, 2007
By Roy Smith (Lake Frederick, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been working with seniors for over 20 years and have found this to be one of the best, most accurate and easy to read books available on the subject of ageing and long term care solutions. I would highly reccommend it to the many babyboomers and/or their parents. It is must reading if we are going to start solving the long term care crisis in this country.
