Sandwich Generation Resources
On June 16, 2014 around 20 congregants met, with the guidance of our own Terry Shapiro, discussing the issues many families face sandwiched between raising our children and assisting our aging parents. The Sandwich Generation faces constraints of time, money and ability to find the correct assistance for our parents. Below are listed some resources that are available near Congregation Etz Chaim. If there are any resources that you have found and would like to add to our list please email the Foundation and we can post that information so others can benefit from your experiences: cec.foundation@congetzchaim.
