    About this ebook

    The term “caregiver”—applied to those who provide care in the home setting for the elderly or ill—has become a commonly used term in our language. It is a term encountered more and more frequently in its application to those who have an elderly parent in their care. Statistics show that on any given day at least seven million Americans concern themselves with this task. And their numbers are growing rapidly. Millions of Americans concern themselves with this task every day. By the year 2040 it is projected that the number of Americans over 65 will have expanded from the present 35 million to over 75 million. And the “oldest old”—those over 85—will increase from somewhat over 4 million at present to 14 million or so.

    Esther E. Hansen

    Esther E Hansen was born in Washington, D.C. where she attended the Teachers College, began her teaching career, and later worked with the Kingsbury Center.When she moved with her parents to the southwest, professional relationships helped her to establish Tucson Educational Services, which became an important asset in the community.She developed a valued staff of tutors whom she trained to make use of the skills she herself continued to use in her own teaching of disabled readers. On retirement she chose to settle in central Ohio in an area of farmland and beautiful wooded hillsides. In the village of Gambier she has friends close at hand as well as the many cultural benefits available to the public through nearby Kenyon College. In the natural impulse to share the life experiences which may be of value to others she has written , in addition to her father’s story, two other books: A Matter of Growth was inspired by her life as a caregiver with her parents, and 90 Years Young tells of her many adventures with wellness.
