The Elder Care Survival Guide, by Martin Sabel is must reading when you are faced with the task of taking care an aging parent or parents . The sub-title "Your Essential Guide to Surviving the Emotional, Financial, Health, and Family Challenges of Caring for Aging Parents, says it all. This book thoroughly and comprehensively covers each of the topics listed in the sub-title.

Martin's chapter titles include:

All the topics are vital to you the caregiver maintaining you health and sanity. Your health and sanity is the most often overlooked part of caregiving. Remember if the caregiver becomes sick, then there are two to take of.

The Resource Directory, alone is worth the price of the book. Sabel has put together one of the most through list I have ever seen. On the list he covers everything for the goverment agencies to the private and non-profit agencies.

During this time of economic turmoil a book like "The Elder Care Survival Guide", by Martin Sabel is one that is needed to put us on the right road of care giving and keep us there.

I hardily endorse and recommend this book.
