In this comprehensive and accessible guide, long-term care expert Stella Henry helps readers navigate the daunting logistics and powerful emotions of making care decisions for an elderly parent or loved one. Drawing from her 36 years as a registered nurse and a nursing home administrator, as well as her experience caring for both her parents (both of whom suffered from Alzheimer's), Henry tackles all the tough issues: spotting the warning signs of dementia, redefining sibling roles, doing a walk-through at an assisted living facility, making the move, and coping with "take me home!" demands. Very practical help for anyone facing care-giving for parents, Henry was interviewed for the documentary,
Embracing Aging: Families Facing Change. http://store.mennomedia.org/p-245-embracing-aging.aspxPaperback. 254 pages.
