When you need help finding assisted living by William W. Morgan (Sanibel, Florida)

This book was invaluable in helping us find an assisted living facility for my sister-in-law. I figured out about half of the questions this book raised - and it was the ones that it raised that saved us from making a HUGE mistake. Through the helpful question and example format, the book was easy to navigate and I found it easy to develop the right question list for us to use when interviewing facilities.
