Pbs Caring For Parents Online Broadcast

On April 2, 2008, PBS aired the broadcast “Caring for Parents”. Unfortunately, the network will not be airing the broadcast again locally in the near future. However, PBS has made this broadcast available to watch online. We highly recommend that you take the opportunity to watch this informative broadcast which provides a very helpful insight and suggestions for people with aging parents in need of assistance.

The first 90-minutes of Caring for Your Parents underscores today’s struggle to keep parents at home, tensions between siblings, and the complexity of shifting caregiver roles through an intimate look at five American families. As the population ages, many adult children are grappling with an unprecedented social, cultural, economic, and personal revolution as they transition into the primary caregiver role for their aging parents. Produced, written, and directed by award-winning filmmaker Michael Kirk, Caring for Your Parents is a moving two-hour special that draws much-needed attention to this universal reality. In the end, the documentary contends successful care giving requires one primary ingredient – love.
