The most precious time anyone can have is taking care of their elderly parents.

Some families believe taking care of their elderly parents is a burden. Some families are more worried about themselves and really don’t care of the health and welfare of their parents. Despite the fact many of the elderly have dementia or Alzheimer’s, they still have the ability to feel love and care from their family or even from caregivers.

America has changed. Today having a big house, sports car and fancy clothes that everybody can see is more important than taking care of elderly parents who are in need.
