In Parenting Your Parents, advocate Bart J. Mindszenthy and geriatrician Dr. Michael Gordon present twenty-seven case studies of families working through the eldercare puzzle.
This audiobook covers a broad series of topics, including dealing with dementia, guilt, changing independence, managing end-of-life decisions, navigating the healthcare system, and what to do when a cognitively impaired parent becomes involved in a new romantic and sexual relationship. New topics added to this edition include legalized marijuana, medically assisted dying, and dealing with scams. Parenting Your Parents makes the case for good planning, family unity, and being aware of your loved ones' health. With the help of Gordon and Mindszenthy's expert advice, care providers are able to shed guilt and worry and become confident that they have done all they can to make their parents' latter years as fulfilling and comfortable as possible. Includes a foreword by Dr. Paula Rochon, MD, MPH, FRCPC.
