For many of us, our first experience of aging comes with our parents. As we watch them grow older, we must face some difficult questions: What if they get sick and require long-term care? How can I be sure they`re all right if I live thousands of miles away? How do I look after them when they can no longer look after themselves? It can be overwhelming. Squeezed between the competing demands of work, children, spouses and parents, some people find they simply can`t cope. They don`t know where to start and they don`t know where to go. Caring for Your Parents in their Senior Years is the first book on aging written expressly for children who want to help their elderly parents. With sections on housing and personal care, legal and financial planning, and grief and bereavement, this comprehensive guide provides all the tools necessary to help everyone handle aging in a healthy and caring fashion.
