The amount of stress can be reduced with proper planning focusing on how to best meet their needs. The added stress caused by such change can cause conflict, hurt feelings, and in extreme cases, a total breakdown of the relationship. The family dynamics can quickly change leading to increased stress. The roles of the parent to child can become reversed as the adult child’s responsibility increases through needing to make decisions that impact the parent’s daily life. Their care may include all aspects of life physical, mental, emotional, and financial. We live in a time where many adult children find themselves needing to be responsible for their aging parents care. An old line goes, “I want to die like my grandpa – peacefully in my sleep, not screaming like the other three people in his car.” But the end of life likely will involve more complexity. If you are concerned about aging relatives or if you are a senior citizen, this book can provide invaluable guidance. It would be nice if we all lived to a ripe old age with no bumps along the way. Individuals are better off relying on their own planning. Our government has not been able to articulate a solution to the current and future financial needs of this age group. Today’s medical infrastructure is (number of geriatric specialists and others with geriatric training) simply is not adequate to deal with a mass influx of older patients. Did you know that 3.5 million Americans reach the age of 55 each year? Or that one-third of our country’s population, or 70,000,000 people will be on Medicare and benefiting from Social Security by 2030 according to the U.S. In addition, the country itself is not prepared. The fact is most seniors and their adult children are not prepared for what lies ahead. If you are like most people, you don’t have some of this vital information at your fingertips. If your aging parents were to have a medical emergency, could you provide the vital information doctors would need to care for them? Do you know the names of your aging parents’ doctors? Is your mom taking any medications? Has your dad ever had any surgery. Preface of Dealing with Aging Parents by David Disraeli
