"Thanks for bringing to light such an important topic as it relates to our parents and ourselves eventually as we age and how we can best address the circumstances that we will all face at some point."
Jessica Garcia

"Allison has a wealth of knowledge on senior services, and in this book, she's taking that knowledge and sharing it in a digestible and often entertaining way. I know this is a topic that many of us have a hard time facing - it's the elephant in the room - but Allison and this book make facing hard truths a bit easier. I'd recommend it to anyone who has aging loved ones!"
Dr. Rachel Jerozal

"This small book is packed with so much wisdom and practical advice for a topic that is really tough to think about, but one that we will all universally have to face. Allison shares not only her wealth of knowledge on the topic of aging, but also sprinkles in a lot of personal stories, examples of various choices, and empowers us with the tools to help make those decisions for and with our loved ones. Most of all, it helped me view long term planning for my aging loved ones as an act of kindness. I highly recommend this book to anyone aging or knows someone who is (which of course, is all of us!). Thank you, Allison, for sharing your knowledge with us! "
