Synopsis

Home care for an aging parent is not an alternative to assisted living or nursing home care. To the contrary, Sellers explains that any option other than remaining at home should be viewed as alternatives! Remaining at home is the most desirable option for most people and this book describes how that can not only be possible, but empowering. Finding Freedom at Home will help families who are facing this issue who are often confused about how to navigate the waters of home care. Common questions are: - What type of care is available? - What is appropriate? - Is it feasible for Mom to stay at home? - What about MY home? - How do we pay for home care? - Whom do we even ask? This book will answer these questions.
