Struggling Elderly Parents 13 Nov 2008
At what point should you intervene and help?

If you’re an Archers fan then you’ll have been following the efforts of Peggy Archer to care for her husband Jack, whilst resisting help from her daughters. Woman’s Hour takes up the theme and asks when elderly parents who are struggling to cope resist your help, at what point should you step in? Jane discusses the issue with Kate Jopling Head of Public Affairs at Help the Aged and Baroness Julia Neuberger author of  Not Dead Yet - A Manifesto for Old Age.
