Elder Care Spreads Sandwich Generation Thin
We've covered the challenges facing the
sandwich generation before. This is a rapidly growing phenomenon. In fact, according to the
National Family Caregivers Association, more than 50 million
Americans provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year. A
year!
Adult children are often first in line to provide elder care for their aging parents. And their own children - at the same time. When added to the many responsibilities of their own daily lives, including work and raising their own family, caring for a loved one with declining health can be quite an undertaking.
We've developed an ebook geared toward this growing phenomenon, offering tips on identifying caregiver burnout and seeking respite care. To download "Spread Thin: LifeCare and the Sandwich Generation," visit our Resources page now.
