Book Description: Winner, Books for a Better Life Award and a selection of the Rodale Book Club Featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, CNN, CBS and other national programs The Washington Post calls How to Care for Aging Parents "a compassionate guide of encyclopedic proportion.... What sets this book apart from other guides on aging is the recognition that parent care is an emotional roller coaster for both the parent, who may not be accustomed to being a dependent, and for the adult child, who is often frustrated by the overwhelming new task and the guilty feeling that she can't do more." "A work of great value, written with sensitivity and wisdom...it fulfills an obvious need better than anything I've seen." -- Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D., author of How We Die "This is a tremendous work...truly excellent. It will be a great help to many people." -- Ronald Miller, M.D., medical director, geriatric assessment center at Yale- New Haven Hospital Compassionate, timely, and thoroughly researched, How to Care for Aging Parents tackles all the tough subjects: how to avoid "parenting" your parent, understanding what happens to the body in old age, easing caregiver guilt, getting help finding a nursing home, preparing for the time to say good-bye. Virginia Morris, a health-care journalist who cared for her own father through a terminal illness, has given us an indispensable source of information and support. Included in the book: - Talking to your parents about tough issues - Obtaining important legal documents - Caring from afar - Adapting to new parent/child roles - Easing guilt, exhaustion, anger and grief - Knowing when to intervene - Finding good medical care - Tending a failing body (vision, hearing, incontinence, depression, arthritis, etc.) - Navigating within a hospital - Aiding independence (living alone, driving, avoiding falls) - Improving diet, exercise and social life - Utilizing community services - Managing home-care workers - Choosing a nursing home - Dealing with siblings, bosses and children - Paying the bills - Coping with dementia - Working with hospice - Growing from grief "How to Care for Aging Parents is well-researched and comprehensive...a practical resource...that can be of enormous assistance to contemporary older persons as well as to Baby Boomers and the generations that follow." -- Robert N. Butler, M.D., founder, National Institute on Aging
