The Sandwich Generation is defined as the group of people who care for their aging parents, while supporting their own children at the same time.  Current estimates are that 20 million Americans fall into this group.  Since no one has figured out how to effectively get through to teenagers (I have two at home right now!), we’ll focus on how you can help your parents at the stage in life where they start to lose their independence.

When beginning to help your parents later in life, it helps to break things down into three categories; legal, practical, and emotional.  There are many great tools to help you address each of these areas.  We’ve put together The Sandwich Generation Survival Guide  to help start the process for you.  The guide includes solid advice with additional links to websites that can help you.
