Board for dealing with elderly parents?
| Tue, 08-29-2006 - 10:48am |
I need to find a board that can help with a question about dealing with elderly parents. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lia

Me too! I visited my parents last weekend and I am quite concerned about them. I've had the advice (from a neighbor who has had lots of experience with aging parents) that if they are happy, to let them be. I just don't know how far to let things go before stepping in!
Anybody?
Try asking your question on this board (that's how I found a board for my dd):

Yes, she is on the Teens Board now, but I do not know how often she posts. But from some of what she has written, I am amazed how the same situation creates two very different perspectives - the teen's view and the parent's, LOL! But I introduced her to the board for the same reason as you - so she could "talk" to other teens in sort of an anonymous way.

AARP has a series of boards-I went there with some job concerns as of late(yes, I make the 50 cutoff-yikes)
I was impressed with how active the jobs board was
Heres a caregiver link but it might be worth exploring the whole setup as there will be answers to financial questions in other sections-good luck!
