Blog Name Change: Raising Wilshire is now “Raising Wilshire’s Grandparents”

Follow my journey in caregiving for my parents and neighborfriends

Here I am on the back of a golf cart at Kaiser Permanente in their Panorama City campus. Thankfully they had trams to help transport people around their large campus because there’s no way my dad could’ve walked the vast distances.

Because if being a full time working mother isn’t hard enough, try adding caregiving for older adults to the mix. Between my mom, my dad, and my neighbors (about half of them are over age 60), I have my hands full.

My husband and I are proud AARP-card members of the sandwich generation.

Along the journey, I’ll talk about the issues I’m encountering in supporting my parents and helping them navigate their various medical, housing, and financial issues.
