Caring for Aging Parents is Time Consuming

from Aging Parent TrapX Hosted by Allison Newlon, Gen Xer with an Aging Parent & Realtor Greater Tampa Bay area

Caring for aging parents can feel like having a second full-time job, and most Gen Xers were never prepared for just how much TIME it would take. Doctor appointments, prescriptions, insurance calls, bills, paperwork, home maintenance, errands, technology problems, senior living decisions and the never-ending phone calls. None of these things seems enormous on its own, but together they can consume hours of your week. In this episode of Aging Parent Trap X, Allison Newlon, Nikki Flynn and Julie Cook talk about the hidden workload that comes with caring for aging parents and what happens when helping Mom and Dad starts competing with your own career, family and life. 🎥 Want to watch the conversation instead?
