As parents age, many families experience role reversals. Adult children often must step into the roles of caregivers, assume control of their parents’ finances, and help make daily life decisions, sometimes against their parents’ wishes. It’s not easy, especially when there is no roadmap to follow, and taking care of our parents force us to make tough calls about our own lives. Knowing how others are coping can help. Are you a caregiver? Have you watched your parents make major changes late in life? Where can you find home care help? What’s your take on uprooting family members to new care facilities?
