About the Author:
Bernice Hunt, MS, starting as a writing major at the University of Wisconsin, went on to publish more than 70 books and numerous magazine articles. In mid-life she became an editor, then earned a dual master's degree in mental health counseling and gerontology at Long Island University. When she and her husband, writer Morton Hunt, began to think about retiring to a continuing care community, they naturally looked to books for the information they needed. To their surprise, there were none. They proceeded by trial and error, learning as they went. This book is a detailed step-by-step guide for the about-to-be-retired, filled with information unavailable elsewhere.
