Resources for Caregivers: Are You In the Sandwich Generation?

sandwich_generation

There are a lot of generations currently represented in our population: the Greatest Generation, the Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millenials, and…the sandwich generation. But unlike the former generations (which represent people born during certain years), a sandwich generation might always maintain a presence. And here’s a bit of trivia for you: July is National Sandwich Generation Month! Those who make up the sandwich generation are those who are caretakers for both their children and their parents – hence, they are sandwiched between two generations of people who rely on them for caregiving. Here are some tips and resources for caregivers in this position.
