Find Eldercare Books to Support You While Caring for Elderly Parents
Every situation is unique (Care Tip #3), so no one resource will give you all the information you need. In partnership with Amazon.com, I've created a bookstore to gather together books that I found particularly helpful on both a personal and emotional level along with those that provide the practicalities of caregiving. With a core of books on your shelf and a few bookmarks to Internet Web pages, you will be well-prepared for your caregiving journey.
Strauss, Peter J. and Nancy M. Lederman. The Elder Law Handbook: A Legal and Financial Survival Guide for Caregivers and Seniors. Facts on File, 1996.
This may be dated in the details, but not in the basics. Use this to get familiar with issues and concepts, then talk to your elderlawyer.
More books for your library are added to the Parentcare 101 Bookstore regularly. Be sure to check back!
