Caring For Aging Parents and Adult Children
Overall the study found that financial generosity towards family members-their adult children and parents-is a hallmark of boomers…” Amerprise Financial Study, 2008. Don’t we Boomers know it! But there is real help out there for Baby Boomers who are feeling the squeeze. We find that help and then report back to you with all important contact information and links that Boomers need to utilize to find the resources in their own communities.

The Eldercare Locator is the first step to finding resources for older adults in any U.S. community. It is a free national service of the Administration on Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Just one phone call or Website visit provides an instant connection to resources that enable older persons to live independently in their communities. Support services for caregivers are also available: www.eldercare.gov or try this link: http://www.n4a.org/locator/
