Customer Review: I enjoyed reading "Stages." It is the guide to caring for aging parents I have been waiting for. I think this book will help people that are helping their parents make difficult choices. I also realized I'm not planning enough for when I'm a senior.

Customer Review: This book may be helpful and appreciated by readers who don't understand the behavioral changes that the Alzheimer's victim manifests and need to be told that there is- indeed still a person in there.
