Resources for Adult Child Care-givers of Elderly Parents
This is an excellent resource for adult children looking for guidance and solutions for the care of elderly parents.
…”Ask friends for references or contact the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (www.caremanager.org). If money is tight, call the local federally funded office on aging or plug your ZIP code in at www.eldercare.gov to find the nearest one.
“The office should be able to send a case manager to your parent’s home to do a home assessment at no charge,” says Chris Stone, a registered nurse and clinical liaison for LifeQuest Nursing Center, in Quakertown, Pa.”
