Joining the show during the second hour is bestselling author and Senior Care Specialist Karen Owen-Lee. Karen will be discussing her latest book, Caregiving While Keeping Your Job.
The hospital calls while you’re at work and your parent or loved one 
has fallen and broken his or her hip. Do you leave or stay on the job? Who do you call for help? Will you lose your job if you leave? Your family intended to write a list of your loved one’s directions and wishes, but now you are all alone to deal with the crisis.
Six out of ten caregivers are full-time employees who are caught between fear and anxiety for their loved one and the fear of getting fired from their job.
The stress and hours spent providing care result in employees who are emotionally drained, late to work, and absent from work altogether.
- The secrets to managing parent’s finances, legal, and medical matters.
- How to determine how much leave time you’ll need to assess your senior’s condition and needs.
