Publisher's Synopsis
Who plans to break a hip? Who plans to need home care? No one does. This book is a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide for everyone who needs or may need care sometime in their life. Ms. Smith-Pratt explains the thoughts and feelings that go along with the newfound vulnerability of needing assistance, and the guilt associated with the experience. In here, you will learn about the insurances to choose and the different options available to you. Aging with Dignity: Being Prepared for the Next Chapter of Our Lives allows the experience to be controlled and guided by our own desires-fueled by the knowledge that we understand the process, and will not just be "shuffled around" in the system.
