Our Journey

As we were starting down the path of creating Riff on Jobs, and meeting regularly, we found ourselves frequently derailed by our individual responsibilities related to caring for our aging parents. We were dealing with home safety enhancements, evolving living situations, falls, grocery shopping, doctor visits, and a wealth of other issues related to caring for our parents and in-laws. We shared information, researched, compared notes, and commiserated. In the end, we realized that everything we had learned and experienced could be helpful to other people, especially those over fifty, who find themselves unwittingly thrust into the role of caring for their parents. With that, the Survival Guide to Caring for Aging Parents was born. This is our first book and we are very excited to share it with you.

Driven by passion

We believe in family and honoring our parents, despite any mistakes they may have made raising us. We are all human, and no one should suffer in old age just because it gets harder to do things on one’s own. We also believe that no one should lose themselves in the process of caring for parents. We created this guide so people could live their best life while helping their parents do the same.
