Paula Span wrote an excellent article on caregiving issues in yesterday’s Washington Post Health Section. I wrote about another article of hers in the Post just last month. I guess this is a firm endorsement. Paula gets it!
Though she does not specifically speak to Aging in Place the implication and recommendation are clear. Have the conversations. Do some planning. Don’t get caught out of touch and out of ideas in a crisis. The odds are you or the loved ones you care for are going to need some help.
Louis Tenenbaum, one of the nation's leading authorities on aging in place, is the founder of HomesRenewed, a coalition of business, consumers and nonprofits, driving policy and investment to increase the number of age-friendly homes.
