Summary: A Guidebook Like No Other!!
Review: Eldercare For Dummies is truly my companion. It covers all the things I've been thinking about and addresses issues I never thought about. Its comprehensive nature allows me to have an imperative resource at my fingertips. I actually feel more at ease having this book in my home. Before the book, I was perusing and storing many articles, publications, info centers. I never had complete clarity in one place at one time. It definitely adds ease to my life!

Summary: What You Need to Know
Review: Have an elderly relative? Then you need this book. I got the book when my elderly in-law was still ok - within months she fell and broke a bone and her world fell apart. Having this book on hand has been a terrific guide - it tells you what to expect and then how to deal with it. Dr. Zukerman obviously has experience as well as training in dealing with the older members of our society. The book is written in a clear, easy to negotiate format, and should be part of every home library.

Summary: How to Help when Help is Refused
Review: I made my holiday trip to the bookstore last week. I purchased a copy of Eldercare for Dummies, by Rachelle Zukerman, PhD. The book is packed with light humor and also great tips. I especially liked Chapter 2 with the section on how to help when help is refused.It's great.

Summary: An absolute JOY!
Review: I purchased this book on a tip from my friend. I was a little skeptical at first because I have been taking care of my elderly father for years and I feel I am a good caregiver and this book is for "dummies". Well I must say I was very impressed. "Eldercare for Dummies" was very informative and kept my interest. I found myself wanting to keep reading to see what positive information I would find on the following pages. BUY THIS BOOK! A real pleasure to read and Dr. Zukerman is amazing.
