Welcome to Aging Parent Support, a community for caregivers caring for their parents. Are you struggling to care for an elderly parent or relative, hold down a job, and raise a family? Are you looking for resources to help with balancing family and career, manage estate planning, tackle financial planning, evaluate long-term care solutions and negotiate work flex options?
Have you been searching for real world, practical answers on how to work with siblings, balance your time and have difficult conversations with your parents? Do you just need some support? You are not alone. In fact there are {baby boomers] reaching their senior years and more and more children will be caring for their parents.
I needed all of the above, and when crisis struck, I had to get answers – fast.
Now I want to share what I learned with other women, and men. I know from first-hand experience that there is indeed a caregiver’s gain – an upside to caring for someone else. With the proper planning and support, there are positive benefits of being a caretaker.
