Thirty-four million Americans provide care for a frail,
aging family member. This number is likely to increase
dramatically as the nation’s seventy-seven million
Baby Boomers age. As a result, millions are and will
be grappling with the question: how will we respond when
a loved one grows too fragile to live alone?
Join Paula Span as she discusses her new title When
the Time Comes: Families with Aging Parents Share
Their Struggles and Solutions – scheduled for
release June 2009 (Springboard Press).
Refreshments will be served.
To RSVP or for more information, please call 973-322-4863
or email developmentdept@sbhcshospice.com.
In When the Time Comes, Paula Span shares the stories
of several families confronting this painful question as
they struggle to choose from a host of options, from multigenerational
living or home care to assisted living, nursing facilities,
or hospice. Rich with moving portraits, practical information,
and the comfort that comes with finding the best solution,
the book is essential reading that can help families navigate
the tough times so they can focus on the joyful ones.
