Caring for an aging parent or family member is an additional job, even if it’s fueled by love. Taking the time to care for yourself is crucial, but it can be difficult to manage your responsibilities at home while meeting expectations at work.
Please join us for a lively interview and discussion with Jody Gastfriend, Vice President of Senior Care for Care.com and Author of My Parent’s Keeper: The Guilt, Grief, Guesswork and Unexpected Gifts of Caregiving published by Yale University Press.
Jody will provide helpful tips for:
· Getting the support you need

· Planning for the cost of long term care
· Embracing the positive aspects of caregiving
