In our experience as assisted living home owners, we have seen the struggle that entering into the health care system can be for many families. Very little exists to assist you, and what is available is generally in bits and pieces and tends to be largely disconnected. In this book we have sought to simplify the process and take out some of the mystery so that the reader might be able to approach what is otherwise a challenging season with much greater confidence. It is in no way intended to be a complete resource for every situation, but rather to point you to the resources you may need. This book is a must have for anyone pursuing long term care for a loved one.
