A Valuable and Practical Guide

This handbook is a valuable resource for anyone faced with the daunting task of choosing care for an elderly family member. The vast majority of readers most likely have found themselves thrust into an emergency situation with a loved one who needs immediate care. Navigating the uncharted waters of eldercare options can quickly become overwhelming and stressful. This guide will help readers decide which kind of care is most appropriate with practical information about nursing homes, assisted living arrangements, and in-home care options. As an eldercare executive, I have seen a rapid increase in the number of people searching for care for their loved ones. This guide will help them dispel common myths about long-term care, find the answers to commonly asked questions and explore financial issues.
