Helping Your Aging Parent Revised: A Step-By-Step Guide

Most of us don't know when to step in with an aging parent - especially if they're independent and living on their own. When should you get involved? How will you protect your parent's assets and provide emotional support? Here are the tools you'll need to steer through one of life's most challenging and rewarding experiences - caring for an aging parent. This revised guide steers you step-by-step through the caregiving process from being an advocate for your parent, assessing existing asset protection, and adjusting as needed. How to identify and manage physical symptoms complicated by age. How to locate community services and resources. How to deal with dementia and mental difficulties. How to find the best housing at an affordable price. What to look for in choosing and obtaining acute, long-term, and hospice care. Finally, how to plan a memorial to honor your parent and help loved ones say "goodbye." Written by a journalist who dealt firsthand with the problems encountered with his own aging parent. His "from the trenches" experience and research provide a candid resource. Facts, forms, worksheets, and references are provided to simplify the process. The humorous real-life anecdotes lend levity and humility to this serious topic. You can help your aging parent and look back at a job well done. 9780971737310 0971737312 0 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=mRpWzwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
