Workers who are caregivers to their parents

In 2001 the best of all possible things happened to me. I got fired when caring for a parent with Alzheimer's disease. I just wasn't able to concentrate on signing deals and care for my mother who was wandering at the time. So, with the help of unemployment benefits I lived with mom and cared for her until the day she passed away. This experience changes you forever and I am now a Geriatric Care Manager who has developed a program just to help adult children who find themselves in this position. There is a way around this dilemma. Ask me how. A Good Daughter Elder Care Management in Boca Raton, Fl.

caregiver returning to workforce

I am intrigued by the many women whom like myself are sandwich caregivers. I started my family young , therfore at the age of 48 am trying to complete bachelors.I have spent many years in various administrative , customer service,sales, waitressing bartending etc.. just to make monthly cost of living. Over the years, my son has had unfortunately endured accidents requiring multiple surgeries with lifelong implications,He is never having another painful experience if I can help it. Most of my years have been as single parent. Today, I am trying to go through the loss of my mom from esophogael cancer..she was diagnosed in 9/07. At the time it was 4th stage and not operable..she was amazinginly brave through her treatment. From the first chemo treatment she lost the ability to drive from the neuropathy brought on by the drugs..she ultimately went to a walker , and then mobility chair.. at the time she was retired and living frugally on her pension from the power company after 35 years of service.I had been working as an athletic trainer in my fiances business ( unbeknowngst to me was the financial issues he had, hence I drew no income yet ,continued to work doing massage and training when i could to receive some cash while I cared for my mom.) I knew it was going to be a challenge , but know I feel so much anxiety about which wat to go with work and education..one part keeps telling me no matter what I cannot seem to make the income I need to live in a safe part of the city, maintain a vehicle, my own medical insurance, etc..as I type this I have been on hold for an hour waiting for the mortgage company to answer my call..The other part of my challenge is my mom's finances(she was sadly bankrupt) and the current economic changes have not been much help.I am mortified by the way our parents receive or don't receive the help, respect,time, or even just basic needs..if anyone has hope,insight,direction,please speakup I know I am blessed in many ways and I am grateful, yet I am petrified. thankyou for listening

Balancing work and Eldercare

Thanks so much for the information. I've been my Mother's care giver for the pass 14 years, I've just left my job to take care of her full time. She is 93 years young. I'm not quite sure where or how to start, I just know that it's the right thing to do, for both of us. So if anyone out there knows of any legitamet work at home opportunities please let me know. Thank you
