Thirty-four million Americans provide care for a frail, aging family member. It’s a number likely to increase as seventy-seven million boomers age, and it raises the question: How will we respond when a loved one has a debilitating stroke or grows too fragile to live alone? In WHEN THE TIME COMES, journalist Paula Span shares the stories of several families confronting this painful question, as they struggle to choose among a host of options, from multigenerational living or home care to assisted living, nursing facilities, or, for some, hospice. Rich with moving portraits, practical information, and the comfort that comes with finding the best solution, WHEN THE TIME COMES is essential reading that can help families navigate the tough times, so they can focus on the joyful ones.
