A thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative guide to caring for aging parents

For women and men who are involved in caring for aging parents, and for those who see caregiving in their future, this empathetic and practical book offers complete coverage of all the practical issues you are likely to confront--while addressing the emotional stress and particular needs of caregivers.
