Home Care Assistance Book, Happy to 102, Named Winner of the Aging Category for the Sixth Annual National Indie Excellence Awards

Judged by independent experts from all aspects of the indie book industry, including publishers, writers and editors, The National Indie Excellence Awards celebrate overall literary excellence of presentation and content.

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) July 17, 2012 - Happy to 102: The Best Kept Secrets to a Long and Happy Life was named the winner of the Aging Category for the prestigious National Indie Excellent Awards. Authored by a respected team of experts in senior care, Kathy N. Johnson PhD, CMC, James H. Johnson PhD and Lily Sarafan MS, the book focuses on the factors – diet, exercise, active social ties, mental stimulation and sense of purpose – that make a difference not only in how long individuals live, but in how well they live. With an emphasis on aging in place with in-home care, “Happy to 102” unlocks the secrets to longevity and inspires individuals to live happier, healthier lives at any age. This is the first of three books in the Home Care Assistance senior wellness book series, praised by industry experts as a valuable resource for those interested in healthy longevity and aging in place. Other books in the series include, The Handbook of Live-In Care: A Guide for Caregivers and From Hospital to Home Care: A Step by Step Guide for Providing Care to Patients Post-Hospitalization. A fourth book in the series will be announced at Home Care Assistance’s 2012 Annual Convention at the end of June in Washington, D.C.

“Our mission at Home Care Assistance is to change the way the world ages,” said Mark Bowman, owner of Home Care Assistance of Utah. “We are deeply passionate about our senior wellness book series and are honored that Happy to 102 has been recognized as the recipient of this prestigious award.”

The National Indie Excellence Awards are judged by independent experts from all aspects of the indie book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. They select award winners and finalists based on overall excellence of presentation. Based in Los Angeles, California, the competition is open to all English language books including small presses, university presses, independent publishers and self-published authors. Works published in 2009, 2010 and 2011 were eligible for consideration in what the committee called the most competitive climate yet.

“We appreciate you. We applaud you. And we thank you for your great work. You are contributing to making independent publishing a great sector in the literary community,” said Ellen Ried, President of the National Indie Excellence Book Awards.
