The Real Truth or How to Survive in Assisted Living

Written conversationally and from personal experience, this handbook offers suggestions on assisted living-how to find the right place, how to get ready for the move, and what to look for after the move. It relies on personal stories and observations to clarify the points being made. It covers everything from maintenance and housekeeping, to emotional issues and personal interactions, to activities and things to look for on your visits to find the best place for mom or dad, or your favorite aunt. The practical section of ideas for useful gifts and necessities, and the eye-opening accounts written from the viewpoint of residents make this an important first-read for anyone considering assisted living for a loved one.
