Editorial Reviews Rating Easy Things to Make to Make Things Easy : Simple Do-It-Yourself Home Modifications for Older People and Others With Physical Limitations by Doreen Brenner Greenstein, Suzanne Bloom(Illustrator). Paperback (June 1997) This book is a distillation of the author's background in disability advocacy, her career in assistive technology design and extension at a major university, and her personal experience as caregiver for two frail elderly parents. Written in a clear, down to earth style, the book is crammed with practical ideas for simple and inexpensive modifications for homes and items in daily use by elderly and disabled people. On each page I found myself wondering: "Why didn't I think of that?" You needn't have an O.T. degree to know whether a project will be helpful for you - the needs and uses are clearly explained. Nor must you be wealthy or an experienced handyman to complete the projects - some take minutes and cost under $5. Best of all, the modifications look natural and homelike, not clunky or hospital-ish. Suzanne Bloom's clear, graceful line drawings show exactly how the projects will look and how to create them. Every page glows with caring and respect. This book is a must-have for anyone caring for an elderly or physically disabled person, or just growing old gracefully.
