Caring for an aging parent? You've come to the right place...
Nearly one out of four Americans has had the responsibility of caring for an aging parent by taking them into their homes, or by paying for their care. Two thirds of Americans say they're worried about the care their parents will receive as they age, and whether they'll be financially responsible.
To help meet those concerns, WWJ Newsradio 950 hosts this on-line resource center for those concerned about preparing or answering the need of a parent facing a health concern, undergoing changes in their economic situation, or who are dealing with a prolonged illness or death.
