"""I took care of mom for 17 years before she died a few weeks shy of 100. This book would have saved me from a lot of learning by trial and error and might have averted a complete estrangement with my sister who refused to admit mom needed any help at all the first 12 years. This book should be given to all caregivers when their loved one is admitted to a hospital."" ""This book covers almost everything that a caregiver will encounter. It was very well done and extremely helpful to us."" ""I recommend this book to anyone who is caregiving. I wish I'd had it when I brought my husband home from Emory, after heart surgery and stroke. It contains everything you'll need to know."" ""Wish I had this book at least 8 years ago!"""
