Many books address the issue of caring for one's aging parents, but
this will be the first book to consider the topic from the parents'
perspective. Cheryl A. Kuba proposes an entirely unique approach to
this aspect of gerontology: expressing the voices of care-receivers
themselves. The dependent elderly are a wealth of information, Kuba
discovers, and if we listen to them, we will be better able to help
them. The 22.4 million elderly people being cared for in the United
States comprise the fastest growing segment of the population,
making the discovery of new approaches to care-giving more
important than ever. This book draws on numerous interviews with
aging people, and will discuss common care-giver mistakes and
misinterpretations, what a care-giver should expect when an aging
parent moves in, and how to care for an aging parent from afar. The
book includes helpful resources for those caring for an aging
parent in a variety of situations. Kuba explains such phenomena as
guilt, role reversal, changing family dynamics, financial stress,
and caring for oneself while caring for another. She also addresses
the gendering of care-giving and the myth that Americans abandon
the elderly.
