This section is about one of the most serious challenges our aging population faces today – Elder Care. This is a topic which dominated our family’s life for several years, so it’s very personal to us.
We dealt with it all – long term care options, nursing home, home health care, Alzheimer’s, hospice, long term care insurance, financial assistance…
"My Elder Care Diary" is one family’s personal experience coping with the challenges of caring for three aging parents over two very difficult years… sometimes overwhelming, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes intensely fulfilling.
This Elder Care Diary is our day-by-day experience as the challenges intensified. It provides an opportunity to share experiences, support and inspiration for the millions who share this challenge.
We, hopefully, are also providing perspective to the 78-million baby boomer generation for whom this challenge will become a defining part of their lives in years to come – and for whom the message here is to PLAN, PLAN, PLAN!
