Sandwich Generation Caregivers

Sandwich Generation Stress

Sandwich generation caregivers – adults (like Pauline in the video above) who care for both aging parents and their own children – know that multigenerational caregiving has its pros and cons. 

While it can deepen the grandparent-grandchild relationship, caregiving for aging parents while rearing children is demanding.  

Children and parents require lots of time, which can leave caregivers feeling pulled in different directions as they balance the many responsibilities of caring.  

Caregiver Solutions, a program offered by Boston Senior Home Care at no charge, can help alleviate sandwich generation stress.
