Drawing upon over 3 decades of experience and her interviews with seniors, Angil Tarach-Ritchey RN, GCM reveals the rich inner worlds of the elderly, conveys their advice and describes her vision of a community-based, intergenerational, and sustainable approach to senior living and care for our aging future as we face the Elder Boom™ crisis.Who Will Benefit From Reading Behind the Old Face?1. Seniors now and into the future. If the treatment and care of older adults didn’t need improving, this book would have not been written. This is the overall intention and motivation of the author.2.

Business Owners are losing 34 billion dollars annually in lost productivity related to employed family caregivers and this problem is going to get much deeper and far reaching than most realize as care costs become unaffordable for the vast majority, and government programs that are currently helping those under the poverty line will not be able to meet future costs.

Few books on aging provide the multiple perspectives needed to understand the current aging crisis in America. Typically, the focus is singular. Facts and figures on demographic trends, advocacy or interviews with older persons are the focus. Caregiving issues may figure prominently or a proposed model for community is discussed. Rarely, do you see a combination of these topics. This book covers it all.Angil Tarach-Ritchey offers 30-years of nursing experience with the elderly, advanced professional training and limitless empathy to communicate the big picture about elders. Let's start with her background in nursing and as owner of a home health care agency. She is only too well aware of the disregard for elders in this society. "I have seen more advocacy for an animal than an abused senior," she writes, a caring perspective that radiates throughout the book.Part I provides a thoughtful review of the current climate of aging, including Angil's personal story. Topics range from her experience caring for the very sick elderly in a nursing home, while still an adolescent, to essential information about Alzheimer's disease. She also offers considerations about retirement--that is, are people prepared for the big transition from an active working life to creating a meaningful post-retirement?Current and future demographics further detail the reality we all face: families scattered and unable to care for their older relatives, lack of income among the very old and sick, breakdown of long-term care options, as well as isolation and neglect of older people. The ever-present concern about health care costs and the viability of Social Security, especially for the Boomer generation, are also addressed.
We are a caregiver (professional or otherwise), or we are someone who needs or will need a caregiver, or we are elderly or disabled and need to make decisions concerning our welfare, or we are middle-aged and want to plan for our elder years, or we have an elderly person in our life. EVERYONE falls into one of these categories, and everyone needs to read Behind the Old Face: Aging in America and the Coming Elder Boom (published by DreamSculpt Media, November 12, 2012), a groundbreaking book by Angil Tarach-Ritchey. From challenges to the current system of care for the elderly to a vision of the future of elder care, from information on navigating the system to candid stories from the mouths of elders, Tarach-Ritchey covers the gamut of issues surrounding aging in America and what challenges lie in our future, especially if we are baby-boomers.Tarach-Ritchey is a veritable fountain of knowledge, insight and skill in dealing with issues of the elderly. With a background that began in nursing home care, culminating in the creation and management of her own home care agency, she brings over 30 years of experience to the reader in a vehicle of profound sensitivity and compassion. She is the author of Quick Guide to Understanding Medicare, Medic-aid and other payer sources, available on Kindle, and "The Aging Question; A Vision for the Coming Elder Boom", a M2 Ebook, as well as being featured on websites, in publications, and as a guest speaker on matters of the elderly. She is founder of The Elder Boom(tm) Foundation, a "501C3 non-profit dedicated to educating families, professional caregivers and healthcare professionals to a new vision of senior living and care."
