Excellent source book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book spells out the ABC's of the journey you will encounter when seeking healthcare for the elderly. When I first got thi book I put it it away because I was overwhelmed by the amount of information presented. When faced with the realities of our aging parents, and limited options for their care, one can find themselves already overwhelmed by one emotional crisis after another. Trying to navigate our complex healthcare system is an endeavor that really requires a law degree, business degree in health insurance and other college courses dealing with filling out medicaid/medicare forms. However, when I was then confronted with real problems and questions from family, this book provided answers which could be found no where else. Although a bit outdated, this book provides an excellent reference and source book for those faced with healthcare decisions for an elderly family member or relative.
Highly recommende!

Great Resource for those with aging parents
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Very little on this subject is written in the daily press despite the growing numbers of seniors in US. Just as important as understanding your taxes each year another topic we'd love to ignore, facts are provided with an understanding of the complexities of the subject matter. The issues are addressed in a manner to provide the inside scoop on how to deal with the issues and provides resources. Provides a starting point for drafting your parental plan of action if one is not in place. Found this overall to be a great introduction to these issues.
