Our health care system is the leader in the world for urgent and critical care. There is no better place to have an accident or get emergency care than in the United States. The aging population has created many opportunities for the health care system to discover drugs, therapies, and holistic treatment methods.
Our system, however, is not designed to ease an aging parent's journey. Doctors can be in a hurry, nurses have dozens of patients to manage, physicians assistants and advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) are picking up the slack as we add more and more patients to the system. The duty becomes ours, their children, to stay vigilant for our parents in the current health care system.
Managing Aging Parents, While Keeping Your Sanity, takes you on the author's journey of caring for her aging mother over a 9-year period. She wrote this book as her friends asked that she share her wisdom about everything she'd been managing.
Transitioning the decision-making processes from your aging parents to you is key to easing this journey for both of you. The guidelines in this book offer ideas that can gracefully bring about that shift.
These tips are based on discoveries from the author's experience in caring for her mom, as well as what her mom shared from her point of view. The suggestions are designed to keep parents safe, healthy, and as independent as possible, and to offer their children peace of mind.
This book is a guide is to simplify your experience. Use what resonates, discard the rest. As the author likes to say, "This is your life, too, you have a say in how it goes."
