Certified Senior Advisors textbook, Working with Seniors: Health, Financial and Social Issues

The 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.
