Many boomers not prepared for elder care: survey
(CBS News)While most of the 76 million baby boomers are no longer caring for their children, more and more of them are playing the role of caretakerfor an older generation: their parents. But how ready are they for this role?
A new survey by Home Instead Senior Care, an in-home care company, shows that an alarming number of those caring for their aging parents are under-prepared.
Almost half of those surveyed by Home Instead said they couldn't name a single drug their parents took. Also, 34 percent said they don't know whether their parents have a safe deposit box, and 36 percent said they don't know where their parents' financial information is located.
"The Early Show" met two baby boomer sisters who are now playing the role of caretaker for their mother.
Until recently, 87-year-old Helen Wright was living a healthy and independent life, even being counted on to drive her friends home.
Kathy Wright, Helen's daughter, said, "People were calling her asking her for rides, because they didn't like to drive at night."
But after a fall a few months ago, Helen's behavior began to change.
Kathy said, "We noticed that she began to be a little bit befuddled about things."
She grew concerned about her mother's increasing confusion, and scheduled a CT scan.
"The radiologist called me back in and said showed me a paper and said she has a massive brain tumor," Kathy said.
Since the tumor was diagnosed, Kathy and her sister, Diane, have suddenly and unexpectedly become full-time caregivers for their mother.
Diane said, "It's, like, part of you does not believe this, that this is the diagnosis, and that you're dealing with this."
Kathy added, "Our first challenge was just taking care of her. The second was trying to find the things that we needed, in order to be allowed to take care of her. It took a while to locate the pieces of information we needed."
"It was like a major treasure hunt," Kathy said. "And, we knew that somewhere, she would have this. So, we'd go through it, and see what we could find. The night we found the strongbox with her long-term health care policy was a wonderful celebration."
The sisters now find themselves playing a game of catch-up, trying to figure out their mother's medical needs while coping with the emotions of her battle with cancer.

There's a lot of stuff in there about how information can be "anonymized" and "depersonalized," but the bottom line is that the matter was settled. "A quick scan of other sites reveals that some do not even have privacy policies," the report says.

Hm. When I go through magazines for historically interesting information, I usually focus on the "news" section (if there is one), the previews (for unreleased games) and pretty much anything with a photograph, as there is a tragic lack of accessible photography of video game history. This coverage has literally the most photos I've ever seen of a trade show in a 1990s game mag, I'm really excited to see them.
