Whilst this is not yet a current issue, the prospect of debating with my siblings how any care arrangements for ageing parents is arrived at, is almost as uncomfortable as talking with our parents about their care preferences. It is an unspoken subject that is laughlingly joked away but I am interested to hear from anyone who has been in a similar position and how they approached it.
Responses
Hi Barry - Feedback we have consistently received with Action for Ageing is that our book provides an easy way for the conversation to be brought up amongst siblings or with older relatives/friends, without causing offence. It has been shown as 'something I picked up the other day' and then left for people to have a flick through. The content is helpful and humorous, which people have been more inclined to read (per feedback) than if it was a standard book about health and wellbeing. The good news is that 100 free copies are available here on the engagewithyou website, so it's a great opportunity to see if the book can be of help to your family in getting the conversations started. We would really appreciate your feedback on how it goes! For a free Action for Ageing book, see here
