PARENT CARE

In this audio edition of two one-hour radio productions, the author has created a relaxed and spontaneous-sounding documentary on caring for aged and impaired parents. Sounding like a kind, experienced social worker, she reveals wisdom and sensitivity as she conducts interviews with family members and health professionals. Her approach is empathic about the emotional reactions people have when faced with a parent's infirmity. Some information about the author and a written guide to the contents would have been helpful as a visual road map to this otherwise lucid recording.
