Crossing a Bridge is a manual - a reference book for making living decisions later in life. It is a comprehensive resource for making those choices rather than searching the internet for answers here and there. This book is mainly for seniors whose homes don't suit them anymore. They may need to modify their house to age in place, move to a better independent living setting, or transition to assisted living. It is also directed at Baby Boomers who are concerned about the challenges of their pending retirement or helping older loved ones make later-in-life living decisions. All the major concerns are addressed: how to avoid family conflicts, preparing for the challenges of retirement, aging in place, independent living, assisted living, how to finance your transition, tax matters, and legal issues. Answers to all these questions and more are supported with an extensive list of resources. The author was born in 1942 and is an expert in these matters. He spent 10 years helping his mother move through the phases discussed in the book and is trained as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist(R). His clientele is exclusively Baby Boomers and older, as well as their children.
