Show #11: Aging Parents: Preparing, Caring, Protecting
According to US News, "Nineteen million Americans care for someone over age 75, typically a parent or a grandparent, who may or may not live with them. Often called "informal caregivers," these adult children or relatives provide 75 to 80 percent of all long-term care in the United States.
"We talked about the issues of preparing for this stage of life, caregiving, and prevention of theft and scam through awareness. Thanks to our guests in this important show: we learned a lot!!
Jeffrey Johnson, of Visiting Angels
Liz de Nesdera, Caregiver Action Network and Caregivers Community

Some tips we shared:(lots more in the podcast)
It's not easy! It's a continuous process. Try balancing on one leg and you'll see what we mean!
Working at home? Separate Workspace from Living Space
Remember to take care of yourself too. Have something to look forward to, even if it's just a cup of tea after the kids are in bed
Diana: remember that everyone else struggles with this too - cut yourself some slack!
Randye: Prioritize, Compartmentalize, Schedule...and do your best. Forgive yourself.
