This poll covers the concerns over caring for an elderly person/parent.ABC News conducted this poll by asking questions to 500 baby boomers ages ranging from 42-61 regarding how taking care/assisting with their elderly individual was effecting their life. 57% of the Baby Boomers polled said they feel their parents have good alternatives in terms of care but not the cost. 72% were concerned about their parents future care and 33% of them were very concerned about the future care. 72% of those polled said they feel they are doing enough opposed to the 24% who said they should be doing more and 4% saying they do too much.
These concerns are all very valid because I have witnessed them first hand in my own house. There are good options out there for the elderly when they need assistance but it also very expensive. Other questions that were asked referred to stress levels experienced and how it effects in interactions with certain family members and it does change it trends to get a little more intense and people tend to snap at people more easily than they used to.
