The compassionate approach to caring for your aging loved ones.

Navigating the Waters.

Thanks to advances in medicine, the lives of the elderly and the infirm can be significantly prolonged. But at what cost? 

Wrestling with the question, "What's the right thing to do for mom or dad?" many of us become unwillingly caught up in the new death by intensive care epidemic in which the care is often more destructive than the disease. We want to do the best thing, but are overwhelmed with the staggering choices we face. 

Geriatrician Dennis McCullough spent his life helping families to cope with their parents' aging and eventual final passage, experiences he too faced with his own mother.
