"This book is full of excellent information for people who are dealing with an aging parent(s). Some of it was difficult to read from an emotional standpoint (I don't recommend reading the last few chapters on the bus as I was doing, stifling tears). It touches on very sensitive and emotional issues in a straight-forward, honest way. Full of very useful info and resources, an excellent guide that I will refer to again and again over the coming difficult years, I'm sure."
"I read the first edition and the updated edition is currently on my To-read shelf. There is so much practical advice. I found it to be an invaluable tool when I was facing my father's death in May of 2001. I wish that I had read it months before my father's illness; I think I would have been better equipped to deal with his care. This is a must-read for anyone who has aging loved ones or loved ones facing long term care. If you are the aging parent, you may also find it useful in helping your loved ones care for you the way you want to be cared for at this point in your life. I have recommended this excellent book to many friends and to my financial planner who now gives it away to all of her clients who care for aging relatives. I highly recommend it."
