Westminster : Hospital Will Counsel ‘Sandwich’ Generation’

Help for the “sandwich generation”--adults who are both raising children and caring for aging parents--will be provided in a four-week program presented by Humana Hospital-Westminster in October.

“The Sandwich Generation: A Support Program for Adult Children of Elderly Parents” will feature a variety of speakers, including physicians, long-term care representatives and senior center representatives.

The sessions will address the medical aspects of aging, improving family communication, coping with feelings of guilt and resentment, making decisions about long-term care, and support for those taking care of elderly parents.

The sessions will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 1, 8, 15 and 22. The fee is $5 per session or $15 for all four, and reservations can be made by calling the hospital’s social work department, (714) 896-9239.
