We are honored by the enthusiasm and the belief in our project by those that have reviewed the Coaltion for Senior Safety handbook. Thank You! Leslie G. Cohn, Ph.D., Talaria, Inc .:  Using research & technology to improve healthcare writes ... " Ms. Halpern and Ms. Mascio have compiled a remarkable resource for anyone who cares for or wishes to assist older individuals in their community.  They make it clear that even a small effort can create a significantly positive impact on seniors’ quality of life.  The book helps users outline project goals; plan for expenses and financial management; provides a plethora of general and specific ideas for community projects; and addresses the ubiquitous issue of senior abuse and neglect. With their years of experience and knowledge put forth in a straightforward, user-friendly style, these authors will motivate you to take action and help make the community a friendlier and safer place for seniors." Jacqueline Marcell, Author, Elder Rage , and Host, Coping with Caregiving Radio Show writes ... "There’s something you can do to make things better for your elderly parents and older adults in your local community.  By starting a Coalition for Senior Safety Program, one caring individual or a group such as a chamber of commerce, religious organization, neighborhood watch, or non-profit organization can make a positive impact.  Discover how good it feels to improve the quality of life for seniors while creating income for yourself--by ordering the step-by-step instructional How to Start a Senior Safety Coalition." John Webb, Founder of Caregiver's Resource Kit and the Caregiver's Resource Helpline writes ... " I think it's great!  I can readily see the benefit of mobilizing safe resources for seniors in communities across the nation...this is not just a movement...it will be a REVOLUTION!" Carol Bradley Bursack, Author of 'Minding Our Elders' and News Researcher/Elder Care Columnist with the Forum writes .... " The How to Start a Coalition for Senior Safety Handbook by Barbara Mascio and Barbara Halpern is a terrific reference book for communities who want to start any type of senior safety program. Police, senior service agencies and local government leaders will find this book invaluable as a guide to starting programs that will help look after our vulnerable seniors."   " How to Start a Coalition for Senior Safety Handbook gives realistic, step-by-step instructions on forming committees, involving the community and raising funds. It also provides a startling look at the many ways seniors can be exploited and gives sources for finding solutions to these problems. I will recommend this book to the many caring teams I encounter, from non-profit agencies to our police force."   Tom Begert-Clark, President of Even as We Speak, Author of "Rosie John Doesn't Live Here Anymore! One Family's Journey In Eldercare" and National Speaker, Humorist and Business Consultant writes ...   " WOW! WOW! WOW!  "How to Start a Coalition for Senior Safety Handbook" is an excellent tool in making our communities safer for our seniors! How often do I hear that folks want to do something in regard to senior safety but they don't know where to begin? This outstanding handbook makes it simple with its step-by-step instructions and yet compelling reading with the topics and resources information provided."   " Barbara Mascio and Barbara Halpern have created a must read for not only the obvious senior advocate but for leaders at our housing authorities, senior centers and places of worship.  I'm recommending that our local library carry a copy.  I intend to promote "How to Start a Coalition for Senior Handbook" during my presentations as a way of securing safer and more senior-friendly communities throughout the United States."   Jean F. Wales, President of Wales Consulting LLC, and Author of 'Do it Now' An Organizational Handbook for Seniors and Family Caregivers writes .... “Every community should have a coalition for senior safety. Too often seniors and their caregivers have no idea where and how to find help answering perplexing questions about issues of safety, transportation, senior abuse, drug and alcohol abuse among older adults and many other challenges. This easy to read and understand e-book provides a template for community and civic organizations to begin to provide the kind of safety our senior citizens need and deserve! Not only should older adults have this information, but caregivers of aging family members need to know how to best protect parents and other family members in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Knowledge and preparedness are the best safeguards for any family in emergency situations. As a former fire department paramedic for many years, I know how difficult it is for our “first responders” to educate folks in their communities about how to be prepared. " John Boden, Founder ElderIssues LLC and  Life-Ledger  writes ... " This is a fantastic blueprint for building an organization to support seniors.  You will be guided step by step so that your time and effort will be rewarded with high quality results that will have a real and positive impact on senior’s lives." Timothy A. Dimoff, National Security Expert and President of SACS Consulting, Inc. writes ... "I have found the 'Coalition For Senior Safety' to be a very informative, thorough and professional site that can provide the complete package for the safety and security of our Senior Citizens"   Powered by MidPhase
