Description

About the Book: Caregiving for aging parents is a physical and emotional reality currently facing a large number of the 30 million baby boomers in America. That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine, based on a family caregiving approach developed by Daniel R. Tobin, M.D., and the staff of Care Support of America, presents eight activities that offer practical and pro-active guidance for middle aged people who are caregivers to their parents. This guide to coordinating the varied aspects of caregiving includes information about helping parents to remain safe in their home, understanding their medical treatment and health requirements, navigating insurance and other financial issues, dealing with the emotional issues that often arise, and finding ways to gain control of the process, improve the quality of life and create meaningful memories while caring for aging parents.
