Attorney at Law, nurselawyer@HelpWithElders.com http://www.helpwithelders.com/forum/9693/7323 Tue 4 Mar 2008 12:29:00 AM GMT We are interested in personal stories of baby boomer's who have successfully been able to rise to the challenge of caring for their aging parents. In our work we continue to find the children of aging parents very ill prepared to care for the needs of their aging parents. Unfortunately, we see family members attempt to come together to provide for their aging parent and encounter great resistance from not the elder but the children.
