The Aging Parent Handbook
A comprehensive guide that offers practical and comforting advice for children of aging parents. People are rarely equipped for the uncertainties associated with their parents growing older, and moreover, these are usually issues that they would rather not face. Virginia Schomp's insightful and inspiring guide offers suggestions-as well as comfort-to help families make the right choices together. This valuable one-stop reference helps identify specific issues and provides practical advice on a variety of topics, such as: deciding when the time is to step in and help; determining the level of care a loved one requires; and ensuring no one-even the caregiver-is neglected throughout these trying times. The Aging Parent Handbook also provides directories of agencies that can provide help, an exhaustive list of related books and articles, and much more. No family should be without this indispensable guidebook.

Excellent Resource for Baby Boomers Caring for Parents
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I had acquired this book when it first came out and put it in the bookcase. As my parents got older, I found myself pulling it off the shelf more and more. It is a great resource. It answered questions I hadn't even thought of. A tremendous amount of research and work went into this book and I'm really disappointed that it's not being published anymore. If you are finding yourself starting to do more things for your parents, I would highly recommend getting a "used" copy of this book.
