Caregiving and the "Sandwich Generation"

Washington's "Caring for Caregivers" video podcast series features discussions with local experts, community leaders, and caregivers just like you on a range of topics to help you along your caregiving journey.

This month, AARP is shining a spotlight on Gen X caregivers and the "Sandwich Generation," who find themselves parenting children and caring for older loved ones at the same time. Jeff Ketchel lives in Spokane with his wife and two young children and recently took his mother-in-law into his home after her doctor told her she could no longer safely live alone. There are both joys and challenges in a three generation home, where grandma is struggling with dementia and failing health.
