Aging Parents Part 2 - Finding Creative Solutions

This episode takes us along with Joy and her special guest, her sister Mickey Alford-Lane, through their journey toward helping their father age in place.  Mickey talks about finding solutions that are acceptable to everyone involved and both sisters explain why it is often difficult to help an aging parent.  This is good discussion about an emotional topic that we believe will help many people who are in the same situation.
