The Keys to Senior Housing: A Guide for Two Generations

Description

Where should senior citizens live? Both seniors and adult children will learn how to decide about staying in the current home with modifications or moving to more appropriate housing like retirement communities or assisted living facilities. For seniors, it validates your self-worth and guides you through each stage. For the adult children, it teaches you how to direct your parent into finding the safest possible housing. By learning about these topics of modifying the current home or deciding to move, doing the homework, learning about the many housing choices, having the interview, downsizing, moving in, and acclimating, you will have the keys to successful senior living. Both generations should participate in the conversation that flows from "I am not ready" to "I do not want to move" to "I am not sure" to the realization of "I love it here."

Summary: "Excellent book for several generations"

This book caught my eye because I'm dealing with issues of aging parents. What a find this book turned out to be! It's an easy read, filled with just the help we needed to help my parents and us decide whether they should stay in their house or move to a facility of some kind. The author gives very practical advice for keeping seniors safe, happy and productive at this stage of their life. I'm buying another copy for my parents, as a jumping off point for us to start this discussion, something I dreaded doing before I read the book.
