Aging in America
Linda Schlenker
Price: $15.95
ISBN: 978-0-9795777-4-1
Aging in America was written to assist seniors, their families, and the people who care for seniors. Information is critical when making choices about health care. Sometimes, the decision that needs to be made is whether to move into an assisted living center or to age at home. When choosing assisted living, one must choose between multitudes of facilities or choose a private group home. If choosing to stay in one’s own home, many need to choose an aide to assist them. And, of course, a complex and important choice is whether to stay with traditional Medicare or go with an HMO. When illness strikes someone we love who’s traveling down the road of aging, it can be devastating and overwhelming. Emotions run high and usually span the spectrum—fear, panic, anger, sadness, and more. Days are filled with doctor appointments, hospital visits, and co-pays. In addition to the emotional costs, a health crisis taxes our time and money in ways we may have never anticipated. We quickly find that we must master a crash course in both patient advocacy and the business end of health care. Unfortunately, due to the immediacy, we usually end up learning by trial and error and, sometimes, with painful and costly mistakes. As an Occupational Therapist, I have been dedicated to working with seniors in nursing homes, hospitals, hospice care, and in their own homes since 1989. I’ve written this book in response to the helplessness and frustration I’ve felt watching the results of our health care system deteriorating over the last fifteen years: understaffed facilities, under-trained aides, poor living conditions for the elderly, elderly patients dying unnecessarily, confused and heartbroken families. Aging in America will help seniors and those who love and serve them make more knowledgeable decisions regarding future health care choices. Although health care has become a political hot button, this book is not meant to back any particular policy or take any political stand.
