About this listen
Millions of Americans are in an active caregiver role or will be in one in the future, yet few have a solid plan for the inevitable challenges of aging.
Whether your parents are in their sixties or their nineties, and whether they have years of health ahead of them or already need more support, Successfully Navigating Your Parents' Senior Years provides the framework and information you need to prepare for and handle with confidence the changes ahead.
The responsibility of caring for an aging loved one is often daunting—and when trouble hits, the sudden barrage of questions you face can be overwhelming. Have your parents executed their Advance Directives? Do you know what to look for in a senior community (and how to ensure a spot is available when you need it)? If your parents want to stay in their home, what can you do to ensure their safety?
Aging Life Care Specialist® and CEO of Senior Living Strategies Star Bradbury draws on her twenty-five years of experience in senior living to bring you an up-to-date, comprehensive guide to navigating the tricky waters ahead—starting with putting a plan in place now that maximizes your parents' independence while providing them with the support they need.

Just like tenants have their share of responsibilities, so do you as their landlord and property manager. For first-time landlords, all of this can be very overwhelming.
