- Title
Preparing Solo Agers to Receive Long-term Care.
- Authors
Loverde, Joy
- Abstract
Unrealistic expectations on the part of parents and Solo Agers that presume adult children, family members, and friends will step up as caregivers is a recipe for disaster. While much is advised about retirement, approaching the subject of long-term care is often met with resistance and denial. Care is not a welcome topic in most conversations-personally or professionally. To be helpful to those who depend upon you for expert advice is to better understand the myriad mindsets associated with caregiving, and influence clients and patients to realistically plan ahead for caregiving alternatives.
