A Guide to Sanity!

Very practical guide, real solutions, so much I didn't have a clue about, so glad I found it, really helped me, you will use it as a reference book constantly, jam packed with things you need to know NOW. I wish I had gotten prepared earlier for my parents' old age, but I was in denial, didn't want to face it yet, and I've been in such a nightmare. This book helped me climb out of it and taught me what I should have known years ago. Don't wait for a crisis, don't stick your head in the sand, if you get prepared early and know WHAT to do, caregiving can be so much easier. Also, you MUST MUST read "Elder Rage" which is also excellent, and will save your sanity too.
