Elder Law Today Podcast Show #12 The Talk - How to Communicate with your Parents about Aging and Long Term Care
Update: 2008-12-04
Description
In show number 12 Yale
Hauptman, a practicing elder law attorney sits down with Barbara
Salvador of Nannymama.com and Barbara Friesner of Agewiseliving.com,
a generational coach and author of “The Ultimate Caregiver’s
Guide” to discuss how to have “the talk” with
aging parents.
Generational
differences and lack of communication pose some real challenges to
children who are trying to help care for their parents. So many
families never discuss long term care and finances until a crisis
hits and that’s just too late. If you find yourself in the
situation of not knowing what plans your parents have in place, what
their wishes are with respect to long term care, or where all their
important legal documents are – and you have no idea how to
start the conversation - this is a must listen.

As with any
interpersonal relationship, communication is paramount. How we say
things is as important as the content itself. Yale and his guests
discuss the best way to break the ice and the dos and don’ts of
approaching a very difficult topic in a way that is sensitive to the
fears and concerns of aging family members, intending to bring
families together, instead of pulling them apart.
This 12th
show contains valuable information that every family will find
helpful in dealing with some of the most challenging issues we all
face today.
