Happiness Is Growing Old at Home
At last — a book that explores innovative ways to help elders live out their years in the comfort of their own homes.
Maria Tadd, a medical writer, has written a thoroughly researched book that offers creative, cost-effective ideas on how to help a parent grow old at home with dignity. She introduces the reader to an exciting world of new, easy-to-use, high-tech devices and suggests how they can work in tandem with more traditional care.
What People Are Saying
“Maria Tadd has written an excellent resource guide for both
senior adults and their families. As a geriatric care manager I
find that I address almost every topic covered in this book with
seniors and their families. Ms. Tadd’s book covers a wide
range of issues that, sooner or later, are a part of every family’s
discussions. When addressing these issues, “sooner” is
always better than “later”. Her material is a cogent guide to
each topic. If seniors or family members take time to read only
one book to guide their thoughts and actions, this is the book!”

“Reading this book is like having a long conversation with a
friend over coffee. You will learn in detail about the experience
of long-distance caregiving including lessons learned, opinions
offered, and suggestions made. This thought-provoking
book will prepare you to help an elder maintain a positive lifestyle
in her home. The book is very comprehensive and covers
most anything you might need to know. Be sure to look
through the Appendix section, where the questionnaires will
help you navigate and choose correctly the assistance your
elder needs.”
