All the unique needs of older adults are represented in easy-to-use pages that can be completed within their own time frame. A monthly calendar, frequently used phone numbers, a travel planner, a physician visit form, websites and phone numbers for older adults, a surrogate shopper…all help older adults manage their everyday lives. Guides for good nutrition, driver safety, home safety, disaster readiness, travel planning and Medicare Part D prescription selection  provide valuable information to improve the quality of life. Elder Organizer is a unique and comprehensive personal organizer sure to help all older adults.

About the Author                                                                     

      The author, Joanne Hill, resides in Long Island, New York. She has a Master’s Degree in Social Work and a certificate in Geriatric Care Management. She has created diverse seminars for older adults and their families, worked as a social worker in an assisted living community, created video CD's of family life stories, and served as a long-distance caregiver for her mother, who lived  until the age of 90 while aging-in-place. The Elder Organizer was created after presenting seminars to older adults who were planning for their futures. Adult children who participated at the seminars expressed a huge concern that one day they might be in a position of managing their parents’ affairs without  the necessary information. Ms. Hill was inspired by these concerned families to design a personal organizer that would help to solve this problem for older adults and foster a peace of mind for the entire family.
