Planning for Elder Care, Elleanor Gaccetta [cheapest way to read ebooks txt] 📗

Elder care, also known as Senior Care, may encompass assisted living, nursing care, adult day care, hospice care and in-home care.  It is a known fact that as we age there is a general decline in health. In my book, One Caregiver’s Journey, this is described as the transition period.    Transition may come lightning fast through an illness such as broken hip or stroke, or over time as your loved one loses mobility or other chronic health issues arise due to normal aging, such as diabetes or arthritis.  In my case, I became my mother’s 24/7 full time caregiver shortly after she broke her hip.  She remained in my home home until her death 9 ½ years later at the age of 102.
