Caring for Elderly Parents

Elder Law: A Legal and Financial Guide for Caregivers and Seniors by Peter J. Strauss and Nancy M. Lederman addresses the particular needs of the fastest-growing segment of the population. As they age, seniors ""face the possibility of reduced spending power, rising health care and insurance costs, loss of health benefits both on the job and in retirement, pensions in jeopardy, and changing house needs."" This new area of law has evolved to handle the legal and management problems that may result from aging, illness or incapacity. (Facts on File, $14.95 ISBN 0-8160-3410-9; cloth $25.95 -3082-0; Sept.)
