Finally! A practical guide to walk you through the process of planning for a longer life. Using her years of experience as an Elder Law and Estate Planning attorney, and the personal lessons she learned walking her own parents through this process, Laurie Menzies explains, in practical terms, the best way to plan for this stage of life. You may be asking questions like: "Who will care for me?", "Where will I live?" and "Will I have enough money?" Unfortunately, many families either ignore the need for planning, only to "stumble through" a fragmented, confusing system that often leaves them overwhelmed and without enough information to make good choices. Most families do not have a clear picture of how their finances will be managed when they need to pay for long-term care. Nor do they have a clear understanding of the progression of care, or where to how it can be accessed. By reading this book, you will learn: - the legal documents you will use to protect and distribute your assets - how to best organize your assets to plan for long-term care costs - what are the various levels of care and how to pay for them - why every plan must consider your legal, financial and long-term care needs Finally, there is one book that can help you make sense of it all. Embracing Elderhood: Planning for the Next Stage of Life brings together the essential information in an integrated, coordinated approach to help you navigate the legal, financial and long-term care needs of your loved ones. The first and only comprehensive guide, Embracing Elderhood: Planning for the Next Stage of Life is a MUST READ for aging parents and their families!

Towards Human Rights in Residential Care for Older Persons: International Perspectives
<p>People are leading significantly longer lives than previous generations did, and the proportion of older people in the population is growing. Residential care for older people will become increasingly necessary as our society ages and, we will require more of it. At this moment in time, the rights of older people receive attention at international and regional levels, with the United Nations, the Organization of American States and the African Union exploring the possibility of establishing new conventions for the rights of older persons.</p><p>This book explores the rights of older people and their quality of care once they are living in a care home, and considers how we can commence the journey towards a human rights framework to ensure decent and dignified care for older people. The book takes a comparative approach to present and future challenges facing the care home sector for older people in Africa (Kenya), the Arab world (Egypt), Australia, China, England, Israel, Japan and the USA. An international panel of experts have contributed chapters, identifying how their particular society cares for its older and oldest people, the extent to which demographic and economic change has placed their system under pressure and the role that residential elder care homes play in their culture. The book also explores the extent to which constitutional or other rights form a foundation to the regulatory and legislative structures to residential elder care and it examines the important concept of dignity. </p><p>As a multi-regional study of the care of older person from a human rights perspective, this book will be of excellent use and interest, in particular to students and researchers of family and welfare law, long-term care, social policy, social work, human rights and elder law.</p>
