Caring for Aging Parents Introduction

Multi-Part Series on our Super Seniors

People 65 yrs+ numbered 43.1 million (or about 1 in every 7 Americans) in 2012. The estimations are that by 2030,that number will about DOUBLE to 72.1 million. There’s nothing magical about the number 65. You don’t get a crown or a box of gold on your sixty-fifth birthday but there are differences that do occur in your body, home environment, relationships and more. I want to discuss sensitive subjects that tend to be swept under the rug; Falls, Alcohol Abuse in Elderly, Driving, Sexuality, Care Provider burn-out, Final wishes and more.

This will actually be a several part series.  Check back often for updates!
