"Caring for Your Parents" is a moving, two-hour special that draws much-needed attention to this emotional and universal reality. Incorporating a 90-minute documentary and a 30-minute panel discussion, the broadcast premieres nationally at 9 p.m. EST, Wednesday, April 2, on PBS. (check your local listings).
Immediately after the 90-minute documentary, medical correspondent Dr. Art Ulene leads "A Conversation About Caring." This 30-minute panel discussion offers concrete advice and guidance on how to start the conversation—often the most difficult step in caregiving. The panel of experts includes AARP Publications editor-in-chief and co-author of "Caring for Your Parents: The Complete AARP Guide," Hugh Delehanty; Newsweek columnist Jane Bryant Quinn; best-selling author of "Passages," Gail Sheehy; renowned physician Dr. Cora Christian; and leading elder-care expert, Dr. Bill Thomas.
