No matter how superhuman we think we are, we need to recognize and know our limitations and seek support when needed. An Estate Attorney can help with several items, such as a will, living will and power of attorney. Financial Advisors are there to help you plan for retirement and college planning. And when it comes to managing care for your aging parents? Relying on help from a Senior Living Advisor can save time and reduce stress, so you can focus on your own emotional and health needs. There are over 900 senior living options in DFW alone, and finding a senior living community that’s right for your loved one can be an overwhelming process. But a Senior Living Advisor can help with this and with finding the right caregiver. I know for me, finding the perfect caregiver—one who offers day-to-day care as well as companionship—for my close friend Ruby was so important. We can’t know it all, so it’s wise to look for referrals to professionals through government programs or non-profits, such as the National Association of Area Agencies, The Senior Source or the North Central Texas Area Agency on Aging. There’s so much pressure on us—The Sandwich Generation—but there is help available! GOOD CALL: FINDING HELP WITH SENIOR RESOURCES By Joyce Logan
