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

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 takes you step-by-step through the caregiving process:

- Be an advocate for your parent.

- Assess existing asset protection, and adjust as needed.

- Identify and manage physical symptoms complicated by age.

- Locate community services and resources.

- Deal with dementia and mental difficulties.

- Find the best housing at an affordable price.

- Choose and obtain acute, long-term, and hospice care.

- Plan a memorial to honor your parent and help loved ones say "goodbye."

Learn from 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 simplify the process. The humorous real-life anecdotes lend levity and humility to this serious topic.
