[quote=Anonymous]Being a caregiver to an elderly parent is exhausting when you work full time, have children, contribute to your retirement, and try to maintain some semblance of everyday life and do things you enjoy. I feel the boomer generation is incredibly selfish and poorly prepared for aging. Very few have plans or are willing to pay for their care if/when they need it and are shocked when they realize Medicare does not pay for long-term care or a caregiver (outside of short-term rehab for an illness or injury or *short-term* home health). Most people in the North Western region don't have the cultural requirement to care for their aging parents. We are the sandwiched generation. [/quote]
