This is a quick preview of the episode we're pulling together for later in May. The topic is grandparents' legal right to have access to their grandchildren. In most states, these rights do exist--you just need to understand them, if in a difficult circumstance you would need to exercise them.

We in the Club Sandwich Generation are caring for our aging parents as well as our kids and grandkids. Many of those aging parents want to "age in place," in homes that aren't properly set up for older folks to live alone. Architect Paul Spite has written about how to navigate these changes, like modifying a home to help our elders age in place, and to soften the pride and resistance that can get in the way.

Paul's book is Renovations to Enable Aging in Place. He's also created a YouTube video summarizing his book.
