A Practical Guide for Adult Children on What to Do When Mom or Dad Needs Help: Health, Home Safety, Assisted Living or Nursing Home Costs, Legal Papers, and Family DecisionsBy Imad Muratspahic
Length4h 12m
About this audiobook
You reach into a parent's pantry during a Sunday visit and find three cans of soup lined up on an otherwise empty shelf. Nothing is wrong enough to call anyone, and everything is wrong enough to keep you awake. Mom has missed a doctor's appointment. Dad's car has a new scrape. Your siblings see a different parent than you do. And you have no idea what to do first. Caring for Aging Parents is the practical, all-in-one starting guide for adult children who are just beginning to help. It is not a book about one narrow situation, a single diagnosis or one hard decision: it gives you the whole map in a calm order, from noticing the first signs to the money, the legal papers and the family conversations, and it tells you plainly when to bring in a doctor, an elder law attorney or a local agency. Where other books go deep on one slice, this one shows you where each piece fits and what to do next. Inside, you'll learn: You do not have to do everything at once. With checklists, conversation scripts, fill-in pages and a ninety-day plan, this book helps you take the first step today and the next one when you are ready.
