Many baby boomers are facing their own retirement and at the same time trying to care for their aging, and sometimes dying, parents. Few people plan on being caregivers, and accepting the responsibility can have far reaching effects on personal finances and emotional and physical health. Once the exclusive domain of women, men are increasingly taking on the role of caregiver. Learn about the economics of caregiving and the resources available to people who care for their loved ones at home. Meet a man who gave up his career to provide full-time care to his disabled mother.

I really understand what Mr. Tretiakoff has had to go through and feel for him and his quest to take care of his mother.
I too downgraded from being a supervisor to a clerk so that I could work from home to be their for my mother. I also took early retirement instead of working till full retirement benefit age because it was looking like I would not longer be able to work from home.
What is available to help people like us. I look forward to viewing the program if I can find it in my area.
