The Parent Care Net was established by Emily Butler-Morton in 2005.  After spending 25 years as a Marketer in the Senior Living Business, she felt it was time to share some of the secrets of finding a good retirement community.  There are many nightmare stories about the care being given or not being given that has prompted the writing of "Care Enough to Know-keep your parents safe".  The elderly, one of our precious resources are very vulnerable and sometimes too trusting, only to be taken advantage of and at times mistreated.

It doesn't have to be this way.  There are some very good senior care communities and with the right research a smart choice can be made.  

Twenty-five years of experience and knowledge is brought to readers in "Care Enough to Know-keep your parents safe", a book on how to carefully research a move to any senior living community.  This book has been written with heart and a real concern for families and their loved ones.  

One of the most difficult and hard to hear messages any adult child can receive is the news that their parents can no longer live alone and they must go to a care center.

Now the troubling questions come,"How and where do I start?"  "What if mom doesn't get the proper care?" "Why do I feel as though I am abandoning my Dad?"  And then there is all of the "stuff" accumulated over the years - and what to do with it? 

At a time like this a simplified process can be put into place and a careful and wise decision can be made if the necessary  information is at hand.

That is why "Care Enough to Know-Keep Your Parents Safe" has been written.  Over the years, Morton has witnessed the nightmare of improper placement in independent living, assisted living and memory care. Painfully, families would realize they had made a mistake in their selection, consequently facing another  move.  Moving at any age is difficult but the older we get the more we resist change.  The entire concept of making life better for our parents disappears when the wrong community is selected. 

 Care Enough to Know-Keep Your Parents Safe

Offers a wealth of knowledge and expert advice when it comes to taking care of loved ones in their senior years.  Knowing which questions to ask, what to look for, and how to invasively research a community is all included in her new book published January 2009.
