"Whether your parents currently need assistance or are still independent, this is a must-read book. For me, chapter 5 was a highlight – filled with practical tips and checklists to help you understand your unique situation and to know when it’s time to add more support. The authors touched on a number of critical issues, including the guilt of living in a different province and juggling your parents’ expectations with the need to maintain balance in your own life. Equip yourself now with the knowledge you need to make good decisions for your entire family. Read this book today!"

"For anyone who is supporting an aging person in Canada, this is the book to turn to. It is practical and sensible. It helps the reader to understand how to best support someone as they deal with issues related to aging, while maintaining balance with all of the other demands on the caregiver."
