5.0 out of 5 stars Prepping for Important Decisions, October 21, 2006
I'm glad to see a consumer guide on assisted living and long-term care. These are big life decisions and we need to make informed choices. The book will help you sort out options from long-term care, at-home care, organized senior residences, nursing facilities, Medicare and Veterans' Benefits, Medicaid and asset protection, estate planning and long-term care insurance.
I found the information quite helpful. I'd never even heard of a Geriatric Care Manager before. I liked that the book advised checking the state inspection report on a nursing facility.
The Resource Directory at the end provides lots of leads on:
State Offices of Aging
Caregiver Support Groups
Home Care, Community Programs and Senior Residences
National Organizations
State Organizations
Insurance--Long-Term Care
State Departments of Insurance
Legal Assistance
Licensing and Certification
Agencies on Nursing Care Standards
Nursing Facility License and Certification Offices
Nursing Facility and Alternative Residence Organizations
Ombudsman Offices
Reverse Mortgage and Home Equity Conversion Assistance
Viatical Settlement Assistance
