Elinor Ginzler has written a guide for AARP titled, Caring for your Parents.
Families also should make sure they have medical, financial, insurance and investment documents assembled in one place that everyone knows about to facilitate the decision-making, she said.
"There's often an array of services you don't know about because you haven't been thinking about it," Ginzler said in a MarketWatch article by Kristen Gerencher.
Among the resources families can tap for information are www.AARP.org and the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging's site at www.AAHSA.org, she said. Visit the AARP. See the AAHSA site.
