A great tool for approaching the topic with an aging parent

This is one of the best books I've seen in a long time. It's a very practical book that's written so anyone can understand it. It's a great way to introduce the subject of planning for the future with a parent (or an adult child).

Great Book for Middle Aged and Older People

This is a book I found helpful in planning with my parents and in-laws. Financial, assisted living, long term care insurance and a host of other topics I have wanted to explore.

Great Help For Families

I found this book extremely helpful, especially the chapter on in-home services and the chapter on fianancial planning. I recommend it for the sandwich generation which is now helping their parents and still have responsbility for children.

Old Talk: A must have

A fantastic review of services and planning resources for old age, boomers, parents and older Americans will all benefit from reading this book.
