A MUST READ FOR ANYONE OVER 30!!

I am a caretaker with two aging parents. I never thought about getting old nor did I worry that my parents would ever age, themslves. Well, that day has come, and thanks to AT THE CROSSROADS, I am handling both issues well: aging parents and getting old!!.Ms. Birdsong doesn't waste anytime in getting to the point. Whether it's Alzheimer's or selecting a nursing home, she gives straightforward and very accurate information. Whenever I have a question, I first consult the book for answers. I have not been disappointed, yet.The Chapter on "Quality of Life" is especially intresting because it allows one to understand that the human spirit must still be fed, no matter what age.I wholeheartedly recommend the book, particularly for anyone over 30.

REAL CLEAR AND AND EASY READING GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION

I HAVE NEVER READ A BOOK SO INFORMATIVE THAT COVERS ALL THE NEEDS I HAD TO GO THROUGH IN THE AGEING PROCESS OF MY LOVED ONE AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WOULD ONLY NEED TO BE CONCERN WITH ONE SPECIFC TOPIC THAT I KNEW THE BOOK HAD BY RECOMMENDATION FROM A FRIEND. COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN ALL OF THE ISSUES FROM COGNITIVE LOSS, MOOD STATE , BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS AND SO MUCH MORE HELPED ME TO SEE AND SEPERATE MY OWN GUILT ISSUES AS OPPOSED TO WHAT WAS REALLY SOME OF THE EARLY AS WELL AS PROGRESSED SIGNS IN THE AGEING PROCESS..I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY HELP, PROFESSIONAL HELP PUT BOTH OF THESE DIFFERENCES IN PRESPECTIVE AND NOW MAKEING BETTER DECISIONS BASED ON NEEDS AND NOT EMOTIONALISM OUT OF CONTROL. THANKS FOR THE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES DO`S AND DON`T. TWO THUMBS UP WITH FIVE STARS GREAT AND LONG OVERDUE BOOK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MOM.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR THOSE WHO MAY FEEL GUILTY OR UNDECIDED. THE LEADS AND IDEAS ARE GREAT. THE INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE NEEDED IS AT HAND. IF ANYONE IS EVER AT A STAND STILL CONCERNING OUR AGED RELATIVES TRY READING THIS BOOK AND YOU'LL HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
