With proper planning you can continue to live in dignity, without going into a nursing home. This book describes the steps necessary to do that:
1. Long Term Care Insurance
2. Geriatric Care Management
3. Putting Your Plans In Writing (including a living will, written instructions on the care you want and how it will be paid for), and
4. Getting Allies (including your doctor, your lawyer, your CPA, your family and friends).
The book describes how people are inadvertently put in nursing homes, how Mrs. Shoff kept her 96 year old father at her home after he had a major stroke, and all of the details of planning for your future comfort and dignity.
