Waiting feels like love. Acting feels like giving up. Neither is true-but by the time most families find out, the decision has already been made for them.

The Question of When is for the adult child watching a parent decline and not knowing where the line is. For the spouse managing alone and wondering how much longer. For anyone who has felt the weight of a decision that no one prepared them to make.

Cory Fosco spent thirty-four years working inside skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and memory care units-as a social worker, admissions director, and healthcare technology executive. He has sat with hundreds of families at this exact moment. This is the book he wrote for all of them.

Honest about the difficulty. Clear about the options. Written by someone who has seen what happens when families wait-and what becomes possible when they don't.

The Question of When reached #1 New Release in Nursing Home Care on Amazon in its first week.

Fosco, Cory: - Cory Fosco has spent thirty-four years at the intersection of long-term care, healthcare technology, and the families facing the most difficult decisions of their lives.
