About the Author:
Kenneth P. Scileppi, M.D., is an assistant professor of medicine at Cornell University College and an attending physician at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.
From Booklist:
As medical advances continue to prolong human life, more adults in the prime of life are having to care for their parents as well as their children. Scileppi offers counsel on such matters as when to start worrying about parents' ability to continue living on their own, and then he simply, succinctly addresses specific health concerns of the elderly: falling, nutrition, incontinence, etc. In the final chapter, he deals sensibly and sensitively with the hardest problem of all, "The Right Time to Let Go." This exemplarily organized, highly readable resource for the "sandwich generation" may help many a family more fully enjoy one another at all stages of their lives. Mike Tribby
