Are you a member of the Sandwich Generation -- "sandwiched" between caring for children and aging parents, all the while working a full time job?

The care of elderly parents can be overwhelming, particularly when a loved one’s health is in decline. Questions such as:

• How long can Dad or Mom stay on his or her own?
• Where will he or she go?
• What can we afford?
• What resources are available?
• What will happen to my parent’s assets?
• Will he or she have to move in with us?
  

And if the parent lives a long distance away, the issues and concerns are compounded.
