The author, M.T. Connolly who is quite an authority on the subject, takes us through the sad and desperate state of eldercare. Anyone who has experienced an aging parent or other aging person will see much of their own experiences, but this book informs the reader of so much more. The book covers not only various types of elder abuse and neglect, but the legal aspects from regulation to laws that attempt protection and enable prosecution for criminal acts. The author tries to provide a framework for change, because none of us want to experience desperate measures as we, too, approach our final days. Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review. I will purchase this book and use it as I, at 70 years old, plan my own aging plan.
