The Sitting Room Series

Guides, workbooks, and journals for older adults and the families around them. Every book in the series is in large print. Each one is written to the person whose life is changing, with pages for the family, and each one says who to call and what to say when you call.

By Stephen Deason, who has spent about forty years working inside health care.
