Aging is rarely easy.  With it comes many questions and decisions surrounding life and medical transitions.  Where to live, what situation and facility best meets our needs?   How to increase care and with whom?   How do we pay for it all?   Families are not always on the same page.  Out of town children can view things differently than family in town.  There are many potential and real conflict points in the aging process.  Dr. Kinnison will explore the aging process, conflict areas, and how to avoid or resolve them.  The Decision Tree of Aging is a helpful, comprehensive tool to aid families plan through the aging process.  Time is set aside for questions.

Honoring Aging Parents

Children wish to honor the wishes of their parents.  In some situations, this becomes more difficult when roles begin to reverse and decision-making is compromised.  Not all siblings are on the same page on how, when, and where parents will reside and the type or frequency of care provided.  Children can become extremely frustrated with uncooperative or demanding parents; some age gracefully, others age with rage.  Parents can become frustrated with their children, feeling pushed out the home and forced into decisions.  Even the best of families can find themselves in conflict during the aging process.  Time is set aside for questions.
