Waiting feels like love. Acting feels like giving up. Neither is true-but by the time most families find out, the decision has already been made for them.

The Question of When is for the adult child watching a parent decline and not knowing where the line is. For the spouse managing alone and wondering how much longer. For anyone who has felt the weight of a decision that no one prepared them to make.

Cory Fosco spent thirty-four years working inside skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and memory care units-as a social worker, admissions director, and healthcare technology executive. He has sat with hundreds of families at this exact moment. This is the book he wrote for all of them.

Honest about the difficulty. Clear about the options. Written by someone who has seen what happens when families wait-and what becomes possible when they don't.

The Question of When reached #1 New Release in Nursing Home Care on Amazon in its first week.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
