"Whoa, that's genius!"  

When I read Dharmesh Shah's article on three word start-up advice, I was inspired.  He condensed what he'd learned about starting a company into three word phrases.  Not just any three word phrases - pithy, relevant, important three word phrases!

Somewhere among the dusty memories of high school English I remember that "brevity is the soul of wit."  But three words?  That's just plain crazy.   

Maybe such a reduction is possible on startups, but not on complex topics right?  Not on health care topics right?  Surely, not on senior care, right?

I decided to find out.  I put pen to paper and realized this is not only possible, but a whole lot of fun.  Before I knew it, I had written 36 three word phrases of senior care advice.  Maybe not the cleverest senior care advice you'll read, but maybe the shortest!
