Caring for Your Aging Parents
Caring for aging parents is not something most people anticipate until it is thrust upon them. Often they are “sandwiched” between raising children and taking charge of caring for their parents. On top of that they discover that the cost of custodial care for their parents is an out-of-pocket expense and no one has planned for it. Learn how to plan, copy, find resources and respite care, and to survive this aspect of your life. Make it a journey and lessen the anxiety.
Instructor: Kathy Quan, RN, BSN is the author of The Everything Guide to Caring for Aging Parents and a nurse with more than 30 years of experience.
