When Your Parent Moves In is a straightforward guide that walks readers through the decisions and planning necessary to make it work when a parent or in-law moves in. It offers: * Experiences of the author, experts, and others who have been through the process and made it work * A look ahead at possible pitfalls and how to avoid them * Strategies to create harmonious transitions * Workable plans to create a new family dynamic without destroying your marriage and other family relationships. When Your Parent Moves In uses personal stories, quotes from experts and clear "dos and don'ts" to make its point. Inviting an elderly parent to move in has far reaching implications on every aspect of a family's life, from financial impact to changing family dynamics. It uses honest portrayals to illustrate what can happen to the average family who dives in without a plan.
