The Complete Guide to Thanksgiving with Aging Parents

Caregiver Support

Updated from the original publication on November 20, 2015.

ThanksgivingAgingParents.jpgLast season, we published a post titled Caring for Aging Parents During the Holidays where we shared tips from Dr. Linda Rhodes, former Secretary of Aging and author of The Essential Guide to Caring for Aging Parents. In this post, Rhodes shares five things caregivers should look for and five things caregivers should do when visiting aging parents over the holidays. If you're an adult child visiting loved ones this Thanksgiving, we highly recommend you check it out.

In the infographic, The Complete Guide to Thanksgiving with Aging Parents, we've highlighted some of Rhode's advice—along with some other valuable tips for getting the most out of your visit home for the holidays.
