Certified Senior Advisors textbook, Working with Seniors: Health,
Financial and Social Issues
The 700-page CSA textbook is the foundation of the CSA course.
It is an easy-to-use, on-the-job reference guide that you can
count on as a valuable resource long after you’ve earned your
designation.
The textbook’s 23 in-depth chapters explore the key health,
financial and social issues that most impact seniors’ lives
today. This timely and insightful information is backed by solid
research and illustrated with numerous stories and examples.
In addition, the textbook provides lists of resources particularly
helpful for seniors that CSAs can draw on when serving their senior
clients. The textbook’s final section presents strategies for CSAs
to build their practices, including information on marketing to
seniors and guidelines for following ethical business practices
when dealing with seniors.
