Caring for the Elderly and a Harrowing Family Dilemma
Readers share distress over nursing homes for the aged and the high costs of care. One letter details a daughter caring for an 83-year-old mother with strokes and incontinence, paying 1200 dollars monthly, while another asks for guidance on a cheating spouse scenario and a request for guidance on alcoholism. Ann Landers offers no easy answers, urging compassionate, practical choices and referencing a booklet on alcoholism.
