I ve known David Levy for quite sometime and am confident in saying he is clearly the subject-matter expert in family caregiving dynamics. The information on these pages will be transformative to those who read it and need the skills and suggestions offered. I highly recommend this book. --Scott Greenberg, CEO Comforcare Senior Services and author, Oh My God I m Getting Older And So Is My Mom David Levy has been doing caregiving since before that term was in vogue. This book can be a lifesaver and is certain to engender a higher quality of life for all who will be touched by this knowledge. --Scott M. Solkoff, Esq., Founder of Solkoff Legal, Florida bar board-certified specialist in elder law . . . a valuable tool that can assist and support unpaid family caregivers in their efforts to provide an improved quality of life for their loved ones while they maintain balance in their own lives. Educating family caregivers allows them to be better prepared to face the myriad of issues that arise in caregiving. --Charles T. Corley, Former Secretary, Florida Department of Elder Affairs
