Caring For Aging Parents, Ep  5: Falling, Sitters & the E.R.
Channel: KOJO
Date: 18/04/2024

Caring for aging parents is one of the most important tasks we undertake as older adults, but there is no rule book! Join us in this series as two sisters share tips and advice we wish we had known when we found ourselves in the position of caring for both parents with dementia. In this episode, we discuss the common problem of falling, the cost of hiring sitters, and the actions to take or to avoid while caring for your parent during an emergent situation.
