That means it wasn’t uni the mid 1940's wien people were really stating to live int the thi age of life o the golden years, I ealyis« mile stone when you think about {it Today, the population over 65 years in he US. ‘makes up about 15.1% of the nation. One social challenge that presets itself is adult children caring for ther elderly parents. Welcome the Sandwich Generation “The sandwich generation describes adults near their middle years who have both the welfare oftheir chiléren and their parents to consider, hence sandwiched between family members who rely on ‘you, That's the traditional concept. Then there's the ‘Chub Sandwich when someone in their 50-60's is andoished betwoon aging parents, alt children land grandchildren o, someone in their 30-40's is ‘sandwiched between young children, aging parents ‘and grandparents. Finally there's the Open Faced. Sandwich which means anyone involved in elder PHYSICAL THERAPY FARMINGTON Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Tell you doctor you choose to come here 395 NH Route 11+ (603)839-1034 SBCOEPOLA “The Puddledock Press Farmington, NH ‘Carol Abaya isthe journalist who coined the sandwich terms inthe early 90°. Sandwich ‘Generation entered the Oxford English and Meriam ‘Webster dictionaries 10 years ago. You can understand ths isn’t slang t's @ social construe “Through personal experiences caring for her then 85, year old mother and 90 year old father, Ms. Abaya ‘wrote articles and presented lectures about the sandwich generation. She covered relevant issues that are sometimes dificult to discuss with loved ‘ones such as the aging proces, legal matters, ‘medical issues, nancial situations, emotions, sel ‘esteem, parenting the paret, and pressure on the ‘caregiver Ms. Abaya is very passionate about the subject mater an sil eetures today. Part of the problem with one ofthe "best times of our lives" is that it includes wellknown age elated ‘declines in physical and cognitive capabilities. When it happens varies from person to person based on past lifestyle, environment and hereditary, With that said, there is less known about the social direction for the elderly individual, Consider what happens with a young adult in their 20's. He or she may finda job, {oo college, or start family, Someone just stating ‘ut in fe wil gain tremendous responsibility ‘ickly. Now think about what we expect froma person who lives to be over 65 years. The number of esponsbiliis expected from a senior is much less than that ofa young adult. An elderly parent may reed tobe parented by their adult child, thus ‘encountering a change in oles. Then it ould bea fight for independence, dignity and mesning by holding onto as many physical and mental fusions as possible, This canbe an emotional process for ‘both the elderly paren and the adult child ‘The sandwich genertioner can tke a lead with ‘being therefor his or her older parent. I's recommended ta have discussions about the fecings of both people, especially when it comes to reversing roles, parenting the parent, Remember the nobody ‘wants to give up thet independence even whea one's capacities of funetion decline. We may lose a sense of dignity each time an activity can no longer be completed safely or independently such as diving, grocery shopping, housework, managing finances, or filling pill ox. So, you address this by making decisions regarding your parent's care with them, not {or them, Practicing aceptance and discussing Sandwich" continued on Page 9.

Life changing medical conditions lke stoke or dementia are associated with older people, These conditions may impair one’s ability to communicate, swallow, walk, get dressed, bathe, tiet, or room Without some kind of assistance, You should talk about al the basi Functions to know where help is needed. Allow your pareat to make the decision 25 Tong as he of she sil ean. Do not take aver complete contol, just help where it's needed. Help them ‘maintain as much independence as possible. This will be a learning process forthe both of you. Talk to Some professionals like your primary care provider, «social worker, religious leader, or family counselor for advice, Carot Abaya recommends three important things that should be done regardless of age. Firs isthe living ‘will Tis legal document states what you wish to happen if you became il and ae no longer able to make decisions regarding medial care. You decide ‘what type of medical equipment or treatments you do or donot want performed to help keep you alive. Make the decision for yourself now. Otherwise if ‘you cannot speak for yourself tthe ime a life or ‘eath medical decision is needed it willbe let upto ‘a medical professional ra family member Second, is appointing someone as power of attorney. This is & legal way to choose a person to handle your medical and financial decisions should you lose the ability to ‘make decisions for yourself. I is not recommended to put this personas a joint bank account holder. If {you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself then your power ofattomey takes over as long as you are no longer abe to. Also, there can be alternate ‘names appointed as power of attomey in the event your fst nomination is no longer living. The third ‘ecommendation isa testamentary will Which is ‘where you decide what happens to your assets afer lite. Keepin mind, ifyou are a care giver to someone, a testamentary will is where you also ‘decide what happens to that person if you should die ‘unexpectedly. Having all thre legal documents in place empowers you to control your life and after life wishes. Italso removes the burden and potential legal battles among family members who may
