Save Your Aging Parents from Unnecessary Injuries is a must read for every child of an aging parent.  Falls are a leading cause of brain injury for those over the age of 65 years.  As a clinical neuropsychologist who has worked in an acute rehabilitation hospital I am well aware of the dangers that can lead to hip fracture, head injury, and yes tragically death from falls.Today's seniors want to stay in their own home.  They do not wish to go to assisted living or long term care.  By taking an inventory of their homes as they relate to safety this is much more possible than ever before.This book presents with sensitivity and specificity and road map to safety proof your aging parent's home.  The author provides information in a level of detail I have not seen in other publications.  Inside the house, outside the house and everywhere in between, the author gives you much detail and advice on how to make the home safe for your aging parent.In addition to providing valuable information of children of aging parents, this book belongs on the bookshelf of every rehabilitation professional and case manager who work with senior citizens.  I highly recommend this book.
