Since the ongoing experience of aging - your own or a loved one's - is so complex, Anne finds it helpful to give clients a written guide in order to clarify and explain the unfamiliar circumstances you will encounter. Such an outline serves to improve your understanding and enhance your awareness as Anne guides you through the Assessment and Care Management process.  

Changing conditions and needs in later life are very well documented in Dr. Dennis McCullough's book, My Mother - Your Mother.  Dealing with the challenges of caring for your aging loved ones, the book is written in a conversational way and is easily readable.  It makes an especially good resource because it delineates each stage of aging with its attendant problems, solutions, and feelings.  Issues addressed in the book include:

• Stability – Education about your parents and aging

• Compromise – Vigilance and readiness

• Crisis – Damage control

• Recovery – Time of opportunity

• Decline – Adaptations 

• Prelude to Dying – Hasten slowly

• Death – Without pain and in appropriate time.

Anne is certain that you will refer to this book over and over again so that changes do not become surprises.  Although Anne tries to cover all these points in her personal work with you, she feels it is valuable for you to have a private place where you can refresh your learning and gain reaffirmation through the days and years ahead.

Each one of Anne’s clients will be presented with a personal copy of the book, compliments of AHL Services, Inc.  Anne is certain you will value it and, perhaps, share it with others.
