A note from the author

Why I Built This Library

The day I brought my elderly mother home from the hospital after her stroke, I realized I didn’t have a clue.  Where would I find a wheelchair?  Who provides in-home care?  Did Medicare pay for any of it?

I found no single place to turn for answers, so I created one.  Now in its fourth printing, Aging with Health, Happiness & Wisdom has been called the Consumer Reports of senior care.  This library puts it all in one place, free.

Read what you need, print what you want to keep, and pass it along to the people you love.  It costs you nothing.
