PARENTCARE SURVIVAL GUIDE is for people who want to do their best for their elderly parents without becoming overwhelmed by the responsibility. It's a down-to-earth and easy-to-read quality paperback that offers adult children a sensible and realistic approach to common parentcare predicaments. It gives readers the insight and the self-confidence they'll need as they struggle to find Least-Lousy Solutions.
Each of the book's twelve chapters concerns itself with a major parentcare issue with a Bottom Line that tells it like it is and a how-to section that proposes specific problem-solving strategies. Woven through each chapter is a single provocative story that brings the material to life. And at the end of the book are dozens of recommended gift ideas for older people and descriptive listings of national organizations and further reading.
