Options in Aging Care: Caring for your parents, Caring for your partner, Caring for yourself 

Are you contemplating the “next step”as you age? Are you worried about a failing parent or partner? Many among us are in the “sandwich generation,” juggling care giving of our children as well as our parent(s). It can be confusing and overwhelming to know what help is needed, how t that heo getlp, and how to encourage an elder to accept help. These challenges are multiplied when you are a distant caregiver, or the situation involves mental illness or memory issues. Kathy will offer information and advice for acute situations or planning for the future— bring your questions, or (better still) email them in advance to kathy@kathykemp.com.
