Insight Into Caregiving For Aging Parents Outlined At News Blog DigitalOlympus.com

Oct. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- The role reversal from child to caregiver can be a difficult and lonely road for over 29% of American adults.  Popular news and technology Blog Digitalolympus.com will outline resources that exist for caregivers and evolving senior communities that offer independence and support systems when needed.  The sterile hospital style nursing home is no longer acceptable as seniors demand quality living and more social opportunities in their golden years.

More and more senior citizens are choosing to stay in their homes close to friends and family.  Because of this many adults are taking on the role of caregiver as their parents require more daily living support.  Whether the parent moves in with the adult child or not, the caregiver is now responsible for their parent’s medical care and finances.  Many experts suggest sitting down with your parent while they are still in good health and discussing their wants and needs as concerns their health and finances.  Although this discussion can be difficult, addressing it early on will mean the difference between having to guess what your parents want and actually knowing and executing their true wishes.

Dealing with the health of an aging parent is often stressful and time consuming.  As the health care system continues to evolve and improvements are made in health information technology (http://www.zweenahealth.com/health-information-technology), caregivers have peace of mind knowing they can have greater access to their parents’ medical records (http://www.zweenahealth.com/medical-records).  As a result of people’s desire to have convenient access to their health information, many are obtainingpersonal health records (http://www.zweenahealth.com/) (PHR).  PHR (http://www.zweenahealth.com/phr) providers compile and digitize medical records so that they can be conveniently accessed via the web from any location 24/7.
