"I'm happy to tell you that I am using the second edition of Mama Can't Remember Anymore:Care Management of Aging Parents and Loved Ones as a supplementary text in my teaching. In the Economics of Aging, we emphasize issues of health and long-term care. The book is especially valuable in giving students your unique practitioner-based perspective on assisted living, nursing homes, Alzheimer's Disease, and the profession of geriatric care management. It provides the human, professional, and geriatric perspective to which all of these students should be exposed."

I have recommended it as required reading to family members. One of the most helpful resources that they have encountered.
