Care-giving for the Elderly

Interesting article that speaks a lot about care-giving with the elderly. It relates directly to SMILE (Students Moving into the Lives of the Elderly) which works to bridge the gap between generations and develop fellowship between students and seniors in New Orleans (contact Joelle Brown at jebrown@loyno.edu for more info).

The fact that the question is asked, who is taking care of our elderly?, is indicative as to where they stand in the priority of the American family. How can we better treat and care for our seniors? How do we better educate and prepare family care-givers to be adequate care-takers? Thoughts?
