The Sandwich
Generation
Many Boomers are finding themselves
sandwiched between teenaged children
and aging parents. Along with careers
and everyday living, family caregiving
can be both stressful and demanding.
It requires learning new skills, educating
your-self about a variety of physical
and mental conditions and locating
the services and resources needed to
address them. Whether you are the
caregiver, are overseeing a qualified
home health care professional, or
are monitoring caregiving services in a
nursing home or housing community,
balancing the needs of your loved one
with family and work responsibilities
requires planning, flexibility, patience
and love.
Experience Publishing hopes to make
your job easier by providing the best
resources for you and your family.
