We Need to Talk About Mum & Dad: A Practical Guide to Parenting Our Ageing Parents
Jean KittsonEverything you need to know about supporting ageing parents, from author and comedian Jean Kittson. This warm and witty practical guide is a one-stop shop for information on how to support your ageing loved ones: how to protect their health and wellbeing, keep them safe and secure, and enable them to be self-determining and independent for as long as possible. Full of expert advice and first-hand experience, this is your go-to resource to help you:
Navigate the bureaucratic maze while remaining sane. Understand what is needed for your elder’s health and wellbeing and how to get it, especially in a medical emergency. Survive the avalanche of legal papers and official forms. Choose the best place for them to live – home, retirement village, residential aged care, or granny and grandpa flat – and help your elders relocate with love and respect.
Compelled to discuss some of life’s most confronting questions, Jean shares heartfelt stories and clear facts alongside wonderful cartoons from much-loved Australian cartoonist, Patrick Cook.
