"AARP's Planning for Long-Term Care for Dummies may be a helpful resource for caregivers." aarp.org/longtermcarefd

This book contains the resources and costs of the various levels of care for someone needing care.  It even suggests the legal documents you should prepare and update and covers the pros and cons of long-term care insurance.  It gives tips for talking to family members.  In whatever reliable ways we can prepare ourselves with good information, we benefit.  I am continually surprised at how many people think that Medicare will pay for longterm care.  It will not!  So, one needs to consider how it will be paid for, and this book may help in that direction.
