4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and cope with the issue of a life-changing move, 25 Jun 1999

By A Customer

I am a professional that works in the healthcare world and found the knowledge presented by the authors to be quality. They know this area--seniors and the angst of moving from a home and habits of years. Reading this first and then making the choices will be a much easier path to take for many people. Our healthcare system is sometimes complex and confusing and to have a resource such as this can help clear things up. There were some excellent tools provided along with good advice. I enjoyed reading it and will keep it as a reference when my husband and I have to think about this for our own parents. I gave my mother the book for her birthday--she loved it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and informative, 5 Dec 1998

By A Customer

Our book club, The Islanders, chose this book to read last month because so many of us are facing the problem of caring for our aging parents. The book is well written and humorous, and full of important information for anyone who is concerned about providing a safe home for their parents. We all agreed that we wished the book touched more on the specific problems of dealing with Alzheimers and dementia, since many of our parents will be faced with these problems eventually. Also, the authors mentioned nursing home insurance, but didn't recommend any particular policy or company. There are so many confusing come-ons in the marketplace, that it would have been a great help if there was some information on comparing and evaluating policies. We felt we learned a lot about what we will be facing in caring for our parents, but would love to read more about insurance policies to cover nursing home services.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pragmatic approach also includes the emotional sub-text, 2 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This book is certainly a practical how-to manual on a subject, that would be all to easy to not consider. However, when the inevitable reality intrudes,this book allows you to begin to address an uncomfortable subject; in a very non-threatening, calm, and clear fasahion.While it is probably worth its purchase alone for its organizational approach and practical check lists. Its humor, warmth and a sense of the authors passion for thier subject matter made it for me, priceless.As an individual, who recalls only yesterday it seems, requesting the family car with some trepidation; hoping to cage a free tank of gas and not be given a curfew .The prospect of again asking for the keys, for an entirely diffrent reason was very disheartning. At least now I have some sense on how to approach these subjects with everyones dignity intact, and the continued respect of my parents. Additionaly, this book will have you consideringhow you will avoid all of these complications with your own family, when you become the subjects in the books title.
