Caring for Your Elderly Parents: Timely Advice for Baby Boomers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781979846813)

If you are facing the challenge of having to make decisions on issues like long-term care and end-of-life concerns for your elderly parents, you are not alone. Caring For Your Elderly Parents offers insightful advice and support to the ever-growing population of Americans, now at 65 million people, or 29% of the U.S. population, who provide care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aged family member or friend.

As our population ages, the care needs of our elderly parents continue to change and evolve. Today's families face new decisions and challenges. Author Bob Mauterstock gives you the information and support you need as you and your parents face the challenges of aging, no matter in what stage of the process you find yourselves.

This resource covers how we can help our parents - and ultimately ourselves - plan for housing, healthcare, and financial security. The book covers pertinent issues facing baby boomers who can easily be overwhelmed by handing their aging loved one's affairs, such as:

• Helping elderly parents with estate planning and other important documents
• Determining what their parents' real wishes are and how they can honor them
• Feeling guilty or manipulated by parents or family members
• Discussing care and support a loved one will need in the hospital, hospice or assisted living
• Holding effective family meetings where all elder care issues are discussed
• Preventing elder fraud and elder abuse
• Finding help, especially if you live far away
• Managing the financial aspects
• Talking to elders about sensitive subjects
• Finding state and federal elder care resources

Bob Mauterstock calls on over 30 years of experience as a financial advisor to share real-life situations he, his parents, and client faced and how they developed practical solutions to deal with them. He is co-owner of a new company, Plan4LifeNow.com, that trains financial advisors to become Elder Planning Specialists.
