Caring for Aging Parents: No Longer a Choice, but a Necessity

노부모 돌봄, 이제 선택이 아닌 필수가 되다

Even as their parents’ medical records begin to pile up and the number of medication packets on the dining table grows, many adult children put off facing reality, telling themselves, “They’re still doing all right.” Then, one day, a single phone call changes everything. This book is a practical guide for those who find themselves entering the world of caregiving unprepared. It begins by helping readers gain a clear understanding of long-term care insurance and other government support programs, then shows them how to find community-based and private resources and develop realistic caregiving arrangements that allow both parents and family members room to breathe. Rather than asking, “How can we endure this better?” this book asks, “How can we provide sustainable care without burning ourselves out?”
