How to Care for Aging Parents (Morris, How to Care for Aging)
Price: $12.89
The best and bestselling book of its kind. Originally published in 1995, How to Care for Aging Parents, with 220,000 copies in print, won a Books for a Better Life Award and was praised as “an indispensable book” (AARP) and “a compassionate guide of encyclopedic proportion” (The Washington Post). It also catapulted its author, Virginia Morris, to national prominence as a recognized eldercare authority on Oprah, Good Morning America, CNN, CBS, and other media.
Nine years later, and the need for the book is mushrooming: the number of adult children caring for a parent has increased from 4 million to 19.5 million, with roughly 80% of the nation’s elderly cared for at home. Virginia Morris responds with a completely revised, up-to-date new edition. Expanded from 450 to over 650 pages, it covers all the emotional, legal, financial, medical, and logistical issues in caring for the elderly. There are new sections on expanded housing options, alternative therapies, balancing career and caregiving, and dealing with difficult parents. It covers the biggest change in caregiving–the newfound independence of seniors and benefits of healthy aging–and the reverse: three chapters are dedicated to caring for parents with Alzheimers. At the end of the book is an invaluable 100-page “Yellow Pages” guide to all the resources and services of the enormous eldercare industry.

User Reviews
This book is in great condition but print is Blue instead of Black - not as easy to read as I would like. Still, a great bargain for a book recommended by a therapist who specializes in aging issues and relationships with family. -- How to care for Aging Parents
I use Ms. Morris' book religiously for any new situation that occurs with my Mother, which with Alzheimer's can be a daily occurrence. The author has already been down this road and has been kind enough to compile a ton of helpful information to assist us on our journey. I counsel my clients to purchase this book as soon as they have any fear about having to care for a parent. This book is an essential part of my library. I know you can get this information on the internet but why not have a one stop source! -- My Elder Care Bible

If you are a baby boomer dealing with aging parents and their accompanying moods and views, this book will certainly be an asset. It covers a wide variety of topics from depression to nursing care and more. You have to help yourself if you expect to be of help to Mom/Dad. A great guide! -- Baby boomers guide to parenting parentsTags:adult-children,Aging Parents,alternative-therapies,bestselling-book,compassionate-guide,home-virginia,indispensable-book,logistical-issues,national-prominence,new-sections,newfound-independence,virginia-morris,washington-post
