There were some good resources and practical suggestions in this book, especially around planning ahead and navigating tough conversations with aging parents. Unfortunately, a lot of the information felt outdated, and I found myself wishing for more current examples and guidance that reflected today’s realities. I still picked up a few helpful takeaways, but overall this one was more informative than engaging.
anybody with a parent who is experiencing the effects of age and who doesn't have "unlimited" funds for health care, home upkeep, etc. needs to read this book or one of the many other books just like it. it provides solid advice on how to handle real situations, but almost as important to me was making the realization that thousands of other "children" are in the same situation i'm in. these books teach you how to deal with not only the aging parent, but also difficult scenarios that arise with your siblings and other family members.
I recommend this to anyone who is coordinating care for a loved one. It offers practical solutions to providing care and working with family members and health care professionals.
