I don't know what time you would be reading or watching this but today, when you open your doors to start your day 10,000 other doors opened to families quietly grappling with the complex, deeply personal challenges of aging.
Behind many of those doors are retired executives, professionals and devoted adult children doing their best to balance careers, family, and caregiving while honoring one simple wish for their parents:
"I JUST WANT TO STAY IN MY HOME"
My name is Galina Murdakh. I'm a social worker, nurse, educator and elder care consultant. Every day, I serve as the president of Nurse Galina's Care Giving of NJ.
