Planning For Long-Term Care For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

I have done a lot of research on the topic of caring for the aging, but was pleasantly surprised to find lots of useful information in this book that I didn't know. I really like the "For Dummies" series because it helps you get through complex information without getting overwhelmed. This book is extremely useful whether you are planning for yourself, or aging friends or relatives. If you know a lot about some topics but not others, it's easy to just read about what you need to learn.

I have absolutely no knowledge on this subject. What I have read here was informative and did answer some of the questions I had and let me know there were other questions I needed to ask. I checked on a few of the article's validity with my lawyer and he agreed with them, which is a recommendation of its own. This book let me know what I need to be aware of and what to have in place for the future. This was purchased with a couple of other books on the same subject and I recommend all of them.

There is much information provided in this book, however, not much more than can already be researched by surfing on Internet. Having gone through Medicare and Private Insurance claims for my parents, I already knew much of the information presented in the book. It may be good reading for anyone who has not gone through an experience concerning finding care for elderly persons, to know what to expect and to prepare for the future whether it be for elderly relatives or for oneself. It gives many Internet sites for additional information but as already stated, one can surf the net to find out the same information.

Very helpful & written in laymen terms. Book arrived quickly & in good condition.

An invaluable book for planning for long term care, whether you need it now or are planning for it later. Includes many suggestions you may not have thought of, such as Veterans Administration benefits, and the resources of the state Area Agencies on Aging. Points out important facts such as Medicare does not pay for long term care.

Arrived and quality as stated

It really gave me a general overview of LTSS, but if you want more details then you need something else... maybe a case management text book.

The Nolo publication on the topic is current. This is 10+ years old.
