They make it clear that even a small effort can create a significantly positive impact on seniors’ quality of life.

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."

" 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 ...
