Elder Rage, or Take My Father... Please!: How to Survive Caring for Aging Parents Review
Source: Product Description"Elder Rage" is a Book-on-the-Month Club selection, a first for a book on caregiving. It is a riveting, often LOL humorous, non-fiction novel which chronicles Jacqueline Marcell's trials, tribulations, and eventual success at managing the care of her aging parents. "Elder Rage" is also an extensive self-help book with solutions for effective management medically, behaviorally, socially, legally, financially, and emotionally of challenging elders who resist care.
Answers difficult "how to" questions such as how to get obstinate elders to: accept cleaning and caregiving help, see a different doctor, give up driving, attend adult day care, eat, take medication, sleep and bathe properly, move to a new residence, and much more. Also includes an extensive Q&A section, valuable resources and recommended reading. The addendum by renowned neurologist/dementia specialist, Rodman Shankle, MS MD: A Physician's Guide to Treating Dementia, helped make "Elder Rage" required reading at numerous universities for courses in geriatric assessment and management. It is also being considered for a film.
