This latest, enhanced and updated edition will help guide the thinking of those challenged with aging in the family.
Since the last edition in 2006, much has happened in the field of eldercare. There is now an increasing awareness of the complex challenges posed by the expanding aging population in North America. When our parents reach a certain age and have difficulty coping, we find ourselves wondering how to provide them with the kind of love, care, support, and attention they need, just as they have done for us all our lives.
The third edition of Parenting Your Parents shows, through 24 case studies and the personal experiences of the authors, that you are not alone and offers crucial advice to help you along this difficult but rewarding journey. It also offers a new Vulnerability Index to measure what level of need your parents may have right now, as well as a financial planning section and resource directory.
Michael Gordon, MD, MSC, and FRCPC, is professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, head of Geriatrics and Internal Medicine at Toronto's Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, and author of Late Stage Dementia and Moments that Matter. He lives in Toronto.
