Synopsis

 Elder Abuse: Financial ? Emotional ? Baby Boomers Aging ? End of Life ? Fear of Nursing Homes ? All the books published do the same thing - give you checklists and rules to scare you on one topic.
Not Aging in America. It does it all. 
It's the complete story of Elder Abuse  and the End of Life told in understandable language.  It is a  narrative which reaches your heart because you know its true, backed by information on  how you can protect yourself. Information on your Legal Right to Medical Records in all settings; the importance of timely updated advance directives such as Living Wills and Durable Powers for Financial and Health Decisions; the often over looked and neglected Physicians Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) which can mean life or death and not the end of life you hoped for. Also there are example forms for all documents and how you can access the forms for your State;  estate planning with Wills & Trusts and Probate;  Vulnerable Adult Statutes, Wrongful Death lawsuits and Mediation; and the importance of an Autopsy. It's all there from beginning to end how the system we "trust" can fail us: nursing homes, hospitals, doctors, nurses,  or home health care services  - abuse can occur in any setting and under anyone's care.Aging in America provides a life or death check list for you or those you love. Online videos to understand this important checklist are provided for purchasers of the book by Senior Care Publishing.Everyone in my family trusted the people in the system to take care of Rose . . . But the hospital staff, the doctors, the nurses, and those running the "skilled" nursing facility didn't seem to care at all in the end...
Aging in America: A Cautionary Tale of Wrongful Death in Elder Care by Karol Charles is a narrative written by a daughter about the wrongful death of her mother, Rose. Through her heart-wrenching story describing the end of Rose's life and the cover-up that ensued, Charles helps readers prepare and protect themselves and those they love as they grow older by offering prescriptive advice and providing easy-to-understand sample legal documents.
Aging in America also includes valuable information about elder abuse and wrongful death so that readers can better ensure that their loved ones are receiving proper care.

The End of Life should be full of care and compassion - not tragedy.
