- That hospitals have their own institutional needs at heart, not your parents'
- That discharge planners are not your friends
- How to evaluate nursing homes
- When and how to conduct discussions about DNR (do not resuscitate) wishes "These and other practical but crucial issues are dealt with in clear detail that will help people know how to act and talk when they are in similar situations. Beyond these practical things, Kane and West illuminate the emotional landscape of parental care - even harder issues to prepare for and to talk about. "It's a tremendously worthwhile book, with enormous potential value both to lay people and policy professionals." --Deborah Stone, Research Professor, Department of Government, Dartmouth College
