Caucus: New Jersey with Steve Adubato

Caring for an Aging Parent


(pictured left to right) Brother and sister Peter and Vivian Drozod along with Diane Mayo, director of the Adult Day Care Center at Newark Beth Israel joined Steve Adubato for a discussion on the family.
If you're considered a "baby boomer," chances are your parents have reached the time of life they call "the golden years." But for many, those years are tarnished by health problems that can effect mobility and independence. On this installment of “Families in Focus,” we look at what adult children are doing to care for their aging parents.

Joining host Steve Adubato in the discussion are Dr. Chuck Davis, director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center; Diane Mayo, director of the Adult Day Care Center at Newark Beth Israel; senior citizen Lena Bacote and her daughter Geneva Morrison and Peter and Vivian Drozod, a brother and sister who made the painful decision to place their mother in an assisted living facility.
