The term “sandwich generation” was coined by social worker Dorothy A. Miller in 1981 to describe adult children of the elderly who are “sandwiched” between caring for their own children and their aging parents. At Ageless Transitions, we’ve witnessed this reality with many of our clients and aim to alleviate the stressors of being a caregiver on multiple sides, so that you can enjoy the special time you have with your loved ones.
