“My Elder Care Bible. I use Ms. Morris’ book religiously for any new situation that occurs with my Mother, which with Alzheimer’s can be a daily occurrence. The author has already been down this road and has been kind enough to compile a ton of helpful information to assist us on our journey.

“There are many books addressing elderly issues and their care, and I purchased a few and read them. But it was this particular book that helped my sisters and me develop a logical, caring and purposeful plan to care for ALL the details surrounding our mother’s needs after Dad died. To add to our challenges was Mom’s dementia, later diagnosed as Alzheimer’s. I purchased copies of this book for each of my three sisters, and when we got together to discuss various issues with mom, this book was ALWAYS referenced — sorta like my Bible. Lots of paragraph highlighting.” —R. Erickson
