Long
Term Care
As readers are clearly aware from my material, long term care is a major issue not only for the elderly, but also for the baby boomers rapidly approaching the "problem". The books below also encompass Alzheimers, Medicare and Medicaid, Caregiving, Nursing Homes, Reverse Mortgages and much, much more.
I have tended to select only those written after about 1996- though some might be earlier- and that is mostly due to changes in the laws, new innovations in care and medications. However, some issues like caregiving are usually valid no matter what the date.
