About the show:
Are you a baby boomer? Are you starting to think about how to care for your parent(s) as they need more and more assistance in their lives?
Research shows time and again that most elders want to age and die at home where they can live happier, more fulfilled lives. After many decades and countless broken hearts, the government is finally recognizing that it is more cost-effective and more humane to care for people in their homes than in nursing homes.
Join me as Maria Tadd shares 3 steps that you can take to prepare for this part of your life with your parents.
Here are the 3 steps that Maria gave to us:
- Exercise for Independence
- Embrace 21st Century Technologies
- Explore Options Early
Maria’s Happy Song:
Imagine – John Lennon
