Let me start by saying that, in full disclosure, I have the privilege of working with Paul and Lori's company by providing marketing services (including the marketing of this book). Whereas it might not normally be appropriate (or credible) for me to post a review of a client's book, my personal experience has moved me to a point that I would feel guilty if I didn't share.On December 3, 2009, I attended one of Paul's book signings in Fairfax, Virginia. The night before the event I stayed up late rereading the book in preparation for what was to be a large event with several hundred caregivers from the Washington, DC area. The event itself was a typical book signing with Paul doing a great job of personally reaching out to as many of the attendees as time would allow.Over the course of a couple hours, my job was to video tape as many testimonials as I could from the various caregivers, social workers and other health and aging-related professionals. By the end of the day, I was overwhelmed by the stories of sacrifice (which I consistently hear from caregivers) and how sorely a resource like Stages of Senior Care is needed.On my drive home I began to feel guilty that I had never shared Stages, or any of Home Instead's caregiver resources, with my own family. You see, my wife's grandparents are 94-years old and had moved home from Florida about three years ago to be closer to family. They were in relative good health when they moved back and made the choice to stay independent by moving into a senior apartment complex.Over the past couple of years, their health has deteriorated in what seem to be pits and falls (literally). With each of these instances, I watched them grow increasingly dependent on my wife's parents for their care.
