Did You Know Judy Wrote a Book About Senior Care?

 

The book Why We Care—Choosing the Right Home Care Agency is co-authored by 8 writers, including Judy. It was published by the Institute of Dignity and Grace, a nonprofit that helps fund home care for seniors who exhausted all their financial resources.

The nonprofit was founded by 2 authors in the book, Nicole Perretti and Steve Weiss.

The book is split into 8 sections by each home care agency owner. The sections include case summaries of families and caregivers finding solutions for different problems. For example, caring for medically fragile seniors who live alone. Or couples who are dealing with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.

How to Best Use This Book

 

Judy says the best way to use this book is to skim the headings and read the summaries that sound similar to your situation. You will find direction and pointers.

“I’ve been through this journey now with a few hundred different families, and every case is different, but shared knowledge makes it easier. My hope is that people find I’m a resource, even if they’re never going to use our services.”

You can buy the book on Amazon for $17.99 or our site for $5.99. Feel free to get a copy, and maybe Judy will sign it!
