In 1900, only four percent of the American population was sixty-five or older. By 2000, this number had more than tripled, and it is expected to nearly double again over the next fifty years. It is estimated that by the year 2050, more than one person out of five will be in the "senior" category. Although today’s elderly are living longer lives, sometimes this seeming fortune comes at a price which includes severe infirmities and diminished capacity. For adult children or others who may then have to step in and care for them in their twilight years, The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Caring for Your Aging Parent will be a companion on one of life’s most difficult but potentially rewarding journeys. This guide includes everything from practical information on the problems of dealing with the elderly to heartfelt advice on the importance of honest communication.
With expert insight and the empathy that only comes from experience, Gene and David Williams and Patie Kay guide families through this new caregiving terrain. The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Caring for Your Aging Parent is a must-have for anyone who is now or may soon be caring for an elderly loved one.
