Books & Resources

Over the course of nearly five decades in the Senior Living industry, my contact files of industry professionals are substantial. Star Bradbury’s knowledge, experience and teaching capability stands out in the aging services industry as ‘top notch.’  I know her to be a serious and dedicated practitioner of her craft as well as a gifted communicator. Very few people can write a book on “Successful Aging” that is as practical, insightful, and well-researched as hers.  I recommend her (and her book) to families (with aging parents), or any aging services organizations looking for a top notch presenter or workshop leader.
