I cannot say how much this book has helped me with my journey as a family caregiver. It helped me make sense of what I was going through, when I had no one to guide me. I only wish that we would have a similar book that outlines resources present in our country. (The book shares resources available in US and Canada.) I still keep this book on hand and refer to it from time to time as I continue with my role as family caregiver.

This is a must-read for individuals who are caring for their elderly parents. It covers a wide variety of topics and gives practical advice.

This book was a great melding of practical advice and anecdotes from children of aging parents. I recommend this book for anyone negotiating throught the unfamiliar waters of caring for people 60+. It really explained a number of services and programs as well as basics about finances, mobility, healthcare, housing, etc.
