Silver Planet offers problem-solving consultations for caregivers..

Bainbridge Island, WA – As many baby boomers age, they enter the "Sandwich Generation" and struggle to care for aging parents while maintaining careers and dealing with teenagers still at home. Complex family issues, a profusion of services, and health care red tape build frustration. Doubt, anger, running around in circles—it all adds up, resulting in stressful days and sleepless nights for the caregiver and less-than-ideal care for the senior in need. Boomers are too often left with nowhere to turn for help as the burden of myriad responsibilities crushes them.

Karen Klein, CEO of Silver Planet®, a Web site dedicated to alleviating this growing societal issue, has a solution: Silver Advisors™.

"Silver Advisors are professional care managers who offer telephone consultations on various issues of interest to caregivers and seniors and provide personalized written reports summarizing discussions and recommendations. They clarify concerns, recommend a plan of action, and help prioritize next steps," according to Ms. Klein.

"To help introduce these services, Silver Advisors will be available for FREE, 30-minute problem-solving consultations from July 6 through July 9," she continued. "People just need to call (877) 458-3767 to make an appointment for their particular caregiving issues.

"Everyone worried about an aging parent or loved one should call, especially if they're tired of finding dead ends when looking for answers to caregiving questions. There's no reason to suffer alone. Often the best decision is to reach out for help," Ms. Klein concluded.
