Elderly Parents Care Information for Boomers with Aging Parents

This site is dedicated to all children who care for their elderly parents. During the past several years we have come to understand the stresses and strains that being a “parent to a parent” can really bring.

The emotional wringing of the wash cloth on a daily basis is something we have come to know, first hand. We also know that although we did not choose to be the one to provide care for our parents the circumstances have presented themselves and we want to provide care the best way we can.

The double duty of having two households to take care of, in addition to earning a living can be a daunting task.

We finally realized that information was one of the keys to survival and that searching for information we did not know existed added to our stress and confusion. It is with this thought in mind that we created this web site.

Our website strives to bring to those who care for their parents the information needed to help in day to day life.

This site is dedicated to you, the chosen one.

Sometimes it can be more reaction than action with your current situation and care for the elderly parent.

As they say “One less thing…….”.

Some of the subjects covered in the following and future pages include; how to choose the right housing (in home care, independent living, assisted living and nursing home care), anger and resentment, time management (yes, there is such a thing ), communication with parents and siblings, health care, nutrition, exercise, daily care, crafts/games, individual group activities, and Medicare Medicaid, are just some of the areas we look into.

Please see the links to the left or below for the pages of interest.

We welcome your visit and would love to hear how we can make this site better for you. On pages that have blogs please leave us your stories and read about others that are having the same experiences.
