    Creating a Plan as an In-Law

    Being a caregiver presents stressful situations, but caring for your in-laws introduces complex challenges. If your husband is the eldest child, closest in proximity, or the power of attorney, assisting with your in-laws as they age may be inevitable. Even though they are not your parents, you may be asked to take on daily activities and health care tasks. Even though being a caregiver is rewarding, taking care of parents can be challenging. When it’s your in-laws, it can be

When we are teenagers, it is the freedom that comes with driving and being out unsupervised. When we become adults, it is moving out of the house. As we age, freedoms begin to change as limitations and health changes. Many seniors have led ac

    Respite for the Longest Day

    Family Caregivers Need Respite Care It’s a situation that healthcare providers and caregiver advocates see all the time: family caregivers who devote so much time and energy to taking care of loved ones that their own health declines. Helping a parent or spouse can be rewarding, but it’s also hard work. Research by the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and AARP found that “the longer a caregiver has been providing care, the more likely she or he is to report fair or poor
