Any family that has cared for a senior loved one knows that problems working with siblings can lead to family strife. The 50-50 Rule refers to the average age (50) when siblings are caring for their parents, as well as the need for brothers and sisters to share the care planning responsibility 50-50. Research conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care network reveals that an inability to work together often leads to one sibling becoming responsible for the bulk of caregiving in 43 percent of families. And that can result in the deterioration of sibling relationships.

Please join us for this free educational seminar on The 50/50 rule. Our guest speaker, Jennifer Bolles of Home Instead, will be discussing in great detail the following topics and answering questions.

• Real Life Situations
• Top Issues Causing Family Stress
• The Dynamics of Family Caregiving
