“You promised never to put me in a nursing home! 5 Steps to Find the Best Nursing Home”

“You promised never to put me in a nursing home! 5 Steps to Find the Best Nursing Home” by Janis D. Lasser

In “You promised never to put me in a nursing home!  5 Steps to Find the Best Nursing Home” (ISBN 1463769768), Janis D. Lasser reaches out to the 79 million baby boomers that may be dealing with aging parents and how to care for them. This book gives readers the answers needed from an insider working in the nursing home industry and a baby boomer herself.

The author’s conversational tone helps readers understand the complexities of the situation from the emotional to the financial. This 5 Step guide discusses solutions to the dilemma of placing loved ones in a nursing home. Lasser writes with compassion for both generations. 

Baby boomers will be reminded of “Fabulous Fifties” memories from their childhoods and compare them to unanticipated problems of aging in America today. This book gives simple, fast, well-tested answers and approaches to make the transition easier for everyone involved.

Lasser discusses the number of Alzheimer’s patients growing exponentially, driving up the cost of care in an economically difficult time. Lasser attempts to reassure that adult children are not abandoning their parents by placing them in a nursing home, but are making the decision best for their loved ones and may even be improving their quality of life.

“More than a thousand family members have come through my office asking the same questions, ‘Why doesn’t someone write a book about this? We have no idea what we’re looking for. How can you help us?’” Lasser says. “I wrote this book to give a message of hope to all those confronted with the problem of caring for aging parents.”

Lasser hopes the 5 Step guide provided will remove the fear adult children and their parents may have about the next phase of their aging parents’ lives. Written with passion, Lasser also uses humorous stories throughout the book to help all parties involved approach this difficult topic with ease, and assist them in making confident choices.

“You promised never to put me in a nursing home! 5 Steps to Find the Best Nursing Home” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
