Elderly Care and the Sandwich Generation

Millions of Americans find themselves among the Sandwich Generation, a group responsible for raising their children, and providing elderly care for their parents. To say the least, this is nothing less than challenging and at times stressful. We all hope that our parents will age gracefully but unfortunately for many of us it does not always turn out that way.

Caring for young children is in itself a full time job, well try adding caring for an aging parent on top of that heavy work load. This entails preparing meals, attending to personal hygiene needs, and staying on top of medication schedules. Added on to the responsibilities of caring for your own children, household tasks, and work this leaves little room for yourself or the needs of your significant other.

With the responsibilities and obligations that many of us have today, let’s face it some of us need help. Even though we would like to think that we are superman or superwoman, the reality is that we are not.
