Riassunto

We're all living longer than ever. But there is, inevitably, a point when most of us have to face the fact that Mom or Dador bothreally do need more help. For many, the responsibility of supporting their parents and aiding them to make the right decisions at the right time can be challenging. This book tells you everything you need to know about the key issues surrounding caring for aging parents. What are the main health issues you need to be aware of? What is really involved in moving into sheltered or residential careand can your parents afford it? What happens if it's clear a parent can't cope at home but wants to stay there? From the small, practical, problems that crop up daily such as shopping, nutrition, cleaning, and reduced mobility, to the bigger, more complex issues such as independence, health, changing roles, accommodation, and financial issues, this book enables you to tackle them. These invaluable insights will enable you to enjoy your relationships with your parents as they grow older.
