Riassunto:

A Senior's Guide for Living Well and Dying Well is an effort by an engaged group of seniors to address most questions of aging. Dr. Hanson has taken the content from years of expert group presentations and condensed them into into a readable, unique, and accessible guide for seniors and their families.
He starts with aging well and covers retirement issues, physical and mental well being, driving, sleeping, depression, and fraud. The section on health care addresses our aging bodies, the capacity and limitations of healthcare systems, palliative and hospice care, end-of-life planning, dementia, and grief. A final section encourages one to leave a legacy beyond just money and property. Choosing financial and healthcare representatives, writing legacy letters, making wills, estate planning, memorial and funeral plans, organizing records, and conversations with loved ones are all covered.
Yet, the book's greatest value may be in the real-life stories included in many chapters. Stories of advance directives that worked well and not so well. Stories of healthcare and financial agents lasting for decades. And stories of dying persons making decisions right up to the end. This book will be valuable to seniors and their families as a reminder to think ahead, plan, and cherish the opportunity to be intentional as we age.
