The dilemma of caring for aging parents is growing in importance, especially as a greater proportion of the population nears the age of 50. This thoughtfully developed guide is packed with practical information on facing legal issues, selecting long term care, determining the onset of conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer's, and more.
After a poignant Introduction by Dr. Joyce Brothers, this exceptionally well written book reflects Mr. Astor's experience as caregiver for his mother-in-law for seven years. When I read the book, the word that often came to mind was 'heartfelt,' as the chapters clearly reflect his genuine concern and compassion as a primary caregiver. This user-friendly manual is also a wonderful resource for those who need to understand the mechanics of our custodial care system before becoming a patient. My advice? Put this book on your Christmas and Chanukah list. It's a real winner.
