Nai-Ching CHEN Providing care for elderly parents is an important familial value in Asian societies. But sometimes the best intentions of family members are met with resistance. Written by a specialist in geriatric medicine, this book points out the common pitfalls of adult children caring for aging parents and suggests best practices to follow.

In this book, readers will learn about 25 common pitfalls that children encounter when caring for their elderly parents. Each pitfall corresponds to a particular problem adult children encounter in elder care. Case studies help illustrate the origin, mechanics, and resolution of the problem. Bullet points help summarize main concepts at the end of each chapter to make it easier to begin applying these principles in daily life and thus support dependent parents to live their happiest, most independent twilight years.
