Easter Seals offers resources, tips on providing care for aging people.
2004 DEC 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- This holiday season, many Americans will visit with an aging parent or other loved one over the age of 65. Adult children may notice slight changes in their parent's lives from previous visits, signs that could indicate a need for increased support.
"Caring for our aging population - our parents and grandparents - is a growing concern for Easter Seals," said Jed Johnson, Easter Seals assistant vice president, adult and senior services.
"Family situations and the needs of an aging parent will unfold over time, but the best time to begin planning for care is before it's needed."
Today, more than 50 million people provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aging family member or friend. By 2030, the population of Americans over age 65 -- and those family members who care for them -- is expected to double.
To help, Easter Seals has developed several resources that offer guidance for families providing care for their aging parents, including its new Loving Conversations booklet and Aging in Stride book, online resources for adult day services, and solutions for common transportation challenges.
The tools share advice on healthcare, living arrangements, alternative forms of transportation, financial management, legal issues, and community support groups and organizations.
Most important, Easter Seals can walk families through the necessary, tough discussions and overall decision process. To order copies of the guidebooks or learn more visit http://www.easterseals.com.
