Caregiving is a top priority in America's aging landscape as 78 million baby boomers will be 65 by 2030. Care managing coach Mary Jo Saavedra uses her Six Pillars of Aging Wellbeing(TM) framework to explore the needs, desires, and opportunities for healthy and safe aging and end-of-life care, something that we will all need to consider at some point or another. These pillars include living environment, legal, spiritual, social, medical, and financial. Full of resources, tips, and management tools, this helpful guide is a one stop shop for the best and most compassionate advice by experts for common eldercare situations and is instrumental in guiding you through the maze of decisions and challengers that elders inevitably face for long-term planning and caregiving.Author: Mary Jo Saavedra
