ABOUT THE BOOK
Health Care Advocacy and Medical Decision Making
A Common-Sense Guide for You and Those You Love
This guide presents, in practical and easily understandable language, how to be an advocate for you and your loved ones in general, and specifically for your aging parents. Even on a great day, the health care system is challenging to navigate. If you’ve ever gotten a call that a loved one is on the way to the Emergency Department, and you’re now in Red Alert Mode, you know things are chaotic and can move very quickly. Being an effective advocate means being prepared for a myriad of questions, sometimes immediate and life-altering decisions, all while reassuring your loved one you “are there for them.”
The suggestions and insights offered to you are practical and sensible. They may not fit every situation, but they can provide you with pragmatic and useful information so you can implement a viable plan now.
