"A clear, simple guide to a very complex process. All aspects of supporting older people are to be found in this incredibly comprehensive and useful publication." -- Professor Martin Green OBE Chief Executive: Care England Chair: The International Longevity Centre-UK "As someone who has worked professionally in the arena of adult social care for over 25 years and more recently had to deal with the need for care for a close relative, this book is a timely and very useful reminder of the do's and don'ts in dealing with increasing frailty and the need for a care home. This book is extremely helpful in guiding people through what can seem a maze of bureaucracy, at the same time not forgetting the personal aspects." -- Simon Morris, former CEO of Jewish Care "There has never been a more important time for a clear and concise guide like this - the care system can be a confusing (and sometimes perilous) maze, and families need to be well prepared and know all their options if they are going to make the right decisions for their loved ones." -- Tony Watts, Director EngAgeNet, "A clear, simple guide to a very complex process.
