This book is a GREAT resource for those who are at the stage where they need to start thinking about how best to keep their aging parents happy, healthy, and comfortable. Of course, our parents have their own ideas of how they want to live as they age. Some of those ideas make sense, others don't. This guide walks you through the various options, from "aging in place" to "assisted living" and many more, and gives you the pros and cons of each option. Potential barriers are discussed, as well as different ways to talk to your aging parents. I'm grateful for this book because I am at that stage, and understanding is definitely called-for at this stage in life (on both sides--child and parents). This book not only provided me with a deeper understanding of where each party was coming from, but also gave me a clearer look at options. A very good resource to have if you need to start thinking about this topic (and sooner is definitely better than later!).
