    About this ebook

    A comprehensive and empathetic program for addressing, planning, and putting into effect long-term parent care. Long-term care for aging parents is a sensitive, often difficult, but ultimately inevitable issue all of us must face. The Parent Care Conversation offers a step-by-step approach for families to follow that will enable them to develop workable plans of action. By first addressing the emotional aspects of long-term care that take into account the parents feelings and wishes, then integrating the practical and financial components, this book will open the door for a critical exchange of information and honest discussion among adult children and their aging parents that has long been the major roadblock to successful elder care. Filled with factual information, useful tips, real-life stories, and practical exercises, The Parent Care Conversation provides a proactive and collaborative solution to the long-term care issues that eventually everyone must face.

    “The Parent Care Conversation provides an insightful, compassionate and highly practical approach to having difficult conversations with one’s aging parents. This process gives specific approaches to open up dialogue between adult children and their elderly parents about such topics as money, property, personal legacy and elder care before parents are too incapacitated to provide input. Written by authors who themselves have navigated this difficult terrain, The Parent Care Conversation is an invaluable resource for all adult children who wish to avoid the heartache that occurs if they wait too long before opening up these lines of communication. I only wish I had had this resource when I was going through these difficult transitions with my own aging parents!” Matthew Alexander, Ph.D., Professor of Family Medicine, UNC School of Medicine, Licensed Practicing Psychologist “Aging parents do not know how to discuss their economic, medical, psychological, emotional, and lifestyle requirements with their adult children, and their children are not confident about broaching any of these subjects. This is causing an expanding number of family-stressful maladies, including neglect, estrangements, bankruptcy, poverty, guilt, resentment, and depression. The Parent Care Conversation provides the tools and resources for navigating these difficult discussions and gives families the confidence to make important decisions.” Dan Sullivan, Strategic Coach®
