There is no role as humbling or fraught with the potential for heartbreak than caring for an aging parent. Siblings who live nearby often shoulder the majority of hands on work, while others who live remotely do the best they can to offer financial assistance and other expertise.
In this episode, Dr. James Polo talks about how communication at every step of your parent's aging process can help alleviate some of the problems that inevitably crop up when making decisions about care, housing, and end of life decisions.
