When Jane Gross found herself suddenly thrust into a
caretaker role for her eighty-five year-old mother, she was
forced to face challenges that she had never imagined. As
she and her younger brother struggled to move her mother
into an assisted living facility, deal with seemingly
never-ending costs, and adapt to the demands on her time and
psyche, she learned valuable and important lessons. Here,
the longtime New York Times expert on the subject of elderly
care and the founder of the New Old Age blog shares her
frustrating, heartbreaking, enlightening, and ultimately
redemptive journey, providing us along the way with valuable
information that she wishes she had known earlier. We learn
why finding a general practitioner with a specialty in
geriatrics should be your first move when relocating a
parent; how to deal with Medicaid and Medicare; how to
understand and provide for your own needs as a caretaker;
and much more. Wise, smart, and ever-helpful, A Bittersweet
Season is an essential guide to caring for aging parents.
