How to Care for Aging Parents: A One-Stop Resource for All Your Medical, Financial, Housing, and Emotional Issues -- Virginia Morris, Paperback

The book that answers all the questions you hoped you'd never have to ask.

Hailed as "an excellent resource" by the Family Caregiver Alliance, How to Care for Aging Parents is an indispensable source of information and support.

Now completely revised and updated, this compassionate, comprehensive caregiver's bible tackles all the touch subjects, from how to avoid becoming your parent's "parent," to understanding what happens to the body in old age, to getting help finding, and paying for, a nursing home.

Help for every difficult issue:

• Knowing when to intervene
• Coping with dementia
• Caring for the caregiver
• The question of driving
• Paying for long-term care
• Sharing the care with siblings
• Caregiving from a distance
• Home care vs. a nursing home
• The hospice option
