520 a| "They cared for you, and now you are in a position to care for them. You want to help, but it's not always simple when the tables are turned. Numerous challenges surround elder care, not the least of which is juggling your own life and career. Without good information, it's easy to take a wrong turn that can result in miscommunication, hurt feelings, or even diminished care for Mom and Dad. It doesn't have to be that way. Written by an expert on aging who cared for her own parents and in-laws, The Essential Guide to caring for Aging Parents leads you through the elder care maze. You learn how to spot warning signs that Mom or Dad requires special attention, and you get advice on ways to talk to your parents about their health, help arrange for their care, and address their needs and wishes. All aspects of elder care are discussed, including determining the best living options, understanding insurance, and managing legal matters, so you and your parents are prepared. You learn how to act as your parents' medical and financial advocate and ask the right questions to acquire the information you need to make sound decisions. Dr. Rhodes also offers guidance on effectively communicating Mom and Dad's needs among siblings and other family members so everyone can focus on what's best for your parents. This clear and compassionate guide helps you and your family achieve what you all want for your parents--quality life with maximum independence for as long as possible."--P. [4] of cover.;
