The number of Canadians providing or expecting to provide eldercare to a parent in need is already a staggering statistic. Baby boomers are aging and this figure is likely to grow substantially.
What should you do when your mother or father grows old? It’s the natural course of life, but so many children of aging parents are caught unprepared. When a parent’s physical or mental health begins to fail, an adult child can be left scrambling to help, balance his or her own time, and even just cope.

- Should your parents stay at home, or move to assisted living?
