Book Synopsis
Are you a senior, 65 years or older?
Are you a family member of a senior?
Do you provide care for a senior?
Is your healthcare plan meeting your needs? The needs of the senior in your family?
Is your senior family member unhoused?
Are you without a life plan? A medical directive?
Is your retirement plan failing you?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, this book is for you.
Every day in our nation 12,000 people become 65 years old. Ten thousand seniors per day retire. Only one third of our senior population have a life plan or medical directive. Half of the homeless people in the United States are over 50 years old. Every night in this country significant numbers of seniors go to sleep food deprived. Elder abuse has been identified as the crime of the twenty-first century. This book addresses these issues and more. It offers the reader information and challenges each of us to actively seek solutions for our aged population. Today it is about the senior - tomorrow it may be about you. The problems that seniors face affect us all.
