FRUSTRATED? Do you ever think about whether you will have to take care of your spouse, aging parent or other senior family member in the future? Maybe that future is now and you are doing that very thing, but you have no support and you don’t know where to turn. You’ve bought all the books, but have no time to read them; and worst of all, you have no idea what questions to even ask.
Perhaps you think it’s too early to think about all of this. After all, everything is fine; all the seniors (e.g., grandparent, parent) that you know are healthy and doing well. But what happens when that changes? What will you do then? What will they do?
WORRIED? What about you and your own care needs? Ever think about that? Probably not if you’re healthy now and not having any problems; but what about the future? Who will help you? Isn’t it better to be prepared ahead of time for possible urgent needs?
A friend of mine once told me the following: “I am completely in the dark about what to do about my parents. They either have to get some help into the house, or they will have to move. But they’re being stubborn… they don’t want to. I work full time, have my own family, I live out of town, and now this. I’m a mess…. we’re all a mess and I don’t know where to turn.”
So if you answered YES to any of the questions above, then you need the Senior Care Organizer, (an interactive PDF document). I can honestly tell you from experience in caring for my own parents and from those who are currently using the Senior Care Organizer that it is truly a “problem-solver” and information-provider. To make it even easier, fillable worksheets are included. Check out some of the questions the Organizer can answer:

Closing Questions….
Is taking care of aging parents, spouse or other family members challenging? YES! Is the prospect of having to do this worrisome? YES! Even though we’re healthy now, is it possible that we too will have care needs? YES!
So, in light of these few questions, doesn’t it seem reasonable to get questions answered, to find resources and basically be prepared in order to reduce the stress of possible future urgency? In my opinion, YES! I hope you’ll consider purchasing the Senior Care Organizer for yourself or others.
