A Partner in Home Care for the Elderly

With 80 percent of middle aged couples having at least one living parent, many people are learning to adjust to the reversing roles of child and parent by confronting the demands of caring for those who once took care of them.

Adult daughters typically assume the major responsibilities for parent care giving. For most women, these duties are added to an already full roster, at home, at the office, or both. Women frequently report that they sacrifice their personal time, privacy, peace of mind, freedom and personal plans to assist her and/or his elderly parents. Some people assume the responsibility because they feel able and willing. Others feel bound by duty.

It’s estimated that up to seven million women are unpaid caregivers to the elderly. They struggle to cope with the exhaustion, loneliness, mental and physical demands, and heartbreak of watching a loved one grow weaker. They need help desperately!
