Caring for Aging Parents - Keeping Them Safe

Healthcare speaker Elaine K. Sanchez, http://EKSanchez.com, discusses how to assess aging parents' safety in her half-day Boomer Boot Camp Workshop - Getting Prepared to Care for Elders.

When adult children are busy managing their own families and careers, their parents' gradual decline can be overlooked until there is a crisis. And then when an illness or accident occurs, they are stunned to realize that they had missed a lot of warning signs, and they now don't know how to begin to help their parents.

In this workshop Elaine covers everything from starting difficult conversations with family elders to completing end-of-life documents. In this segment she briefly discusses the six key areas of safety concern: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Social, Financial, and Legal.




Elaine developed the Boomer Boot Camp Workbook after caring for her own aging parents from a distance and then taking over the care of an 80 year-old aunt following an accident. She walks attendees through the process of gathering and organizing the critical personal, medical, legal, and financial documents; figuring out how to access resources to keep family elders in their homes; how to access your aging parents' safety, what you need to know before you put a loved one into a long-term care facility, what Medicare and Medicaid will and will not cover, and how you can keep peace in the family and avoid court battles over life support issues and the final distribution of possessions.
