Elder Rage is a Book-on-the-Month Club selection (a first for a book
on caregiving) and is a riveting, often LOL humorous non-fiction novel
chronicling Jacqueline Marcell's trials, tribulations, and eventual success at managing
the care of her aging parents. Also an extensive self-help book, Elder Rage
offers solutions for effective management medically, behaviorally, socially,
legally, financially, and emotionally of challenging elders who resist care.
Includes answers to difficult
"how to" questions such as how to get obstinate elders to:
- Accept cleaning and caregiving help
- See a different doctor
- Give up driving
- Attend adult day care
- Eat
- Take medications
- Sleep and bathe properly
- Move to a new residence.
Elder Rage also has an extensive Q&A section,
valuable resources and recommended reading. The addendum by renowned
neurologist/dementia specialist, Rodman Shankle, MS MD: A Physician's Guide to
Treating Dementia, helped make Elder Rage required reading at numerous
universities for courses in geriatric assessment and management. It is also
considered for a film.

I would like to note that this book is available from Amazon for as little as .01 plus S&H.
I have an aging (88) mother and I desperately need some guidance.
Thanks :)
Dear Mike,
Thank you for letting us all know about the deal on Amazon. I always wonder how they can sell a new book for a penny... but... as the saying goes... we'll take it. Its a very helpful book.
