Whether you are just getting started down the road of eldercare, are a seasoned traveler or just want to get ready for what's ahead, Blankenship helps you prepare, plan and be organized - so when the next elder emergency arrives (and they always do!), you'll spend more time in the care mode and less time in panic. Even though we all have parents, we are often surprised and overwhelmed by the curves thrown at us when our elders start needing care. It helps to be able to laugh at some of these moments. Blankenship will tickle your funny bone with her quips, her lens of humor and her refreshing honesty. The responsibility of taking care of our parents and family elders is often challenging, frustrating, and even overwhelming. We already have a full plate of life's responsibilities before we add eldercare. With two decades of experience in caring for aging parents and in-laws, Blankenship has developed a practical approach to navigating those uncharted waters - she uses organization and humor. And she doesn't take long to get to the point. You don't have time to waste on textbook-sized tomes.
