Author Carolyn Rosenblatt is an RN and attorney with over 45 years of combined experience. She is a consultant for families at AgingParents.com, and her work there informs her writing.

Find real case illustrations and real-life solutions to problems like yours. You’ll find a chapter on how to have the often uncomfortable money conversation with your aging parents, how to safely hire a home care worker, what you need to know about assisted living, how to get your parent to give up driving, how to prevent your loved ones from being abused and much more.
