The general take

She created it based on real stories she's encountered of families struggling to navigate assisted living options and not knowing where to turn for guidance.

…isabelle guarino's latest book providing guidance on assisted living options for families
“Most of my books have been business books, but this latest one assisted living revolution is it's fiction. It's actually more like chicken soup for the soul vibes. And I really wanted to kind of take my, my whack at that to see how that went. And based on the stories I've heard over the years of families, not knowing about assisted living options, not knowing where to go, who to call, who to talk to, who to trust. I kind of put all of those thousands of stories I've heard together in three different stories of families who are going through that decision of how to choose assisted living for their loved ones and kind of breaking down the pros and cons of all the options and giving, you know, readers resources on what they should be asking, where they should be looking.”
