When to Help Aging Parents
There’s a new Website that may be of some help if you’re looking for some help in figuring out how in the world to help your aging parent.
Many of us live busy lives, actively working in our careers while trying to bring up our children. Sometimes it becomes hard for us to recognize the symptoms our aging parent may be displaying. We may be hiding behind our rose-colored glasses of denial. Yet, the symptoms may be right under our noses. Our help may be needed and we may not even realize it. Or once we do realize it, we may not know how to go about offering help.
Hopefully this new website www.aging-parent.net
will help us figure out if our help is needed and where we can begin to find resources to help our aging parents—whether a geriatric evaluation is in order, or whether we need need the services of a geriatric advisor.
It contains links to forms, checklists and plenty of other sites that can help us down this road of caregiving, and help us feel that we are not alone in these travels—that others have been down this road before.
