a note from the publishers
According to a recent report, Caregiving in the US
2020, 53 million Americans provide $500 billion in
unpaid care annually for their loved ones. As baby
boomers age, those numbers are likely to increase in the
coming years. It has never been more important than it is
right now to be prepared to make care choices for ourselves
or a loved one.
LIZ & WES CRAVEN
