À propos When They Get Older

a website for anyone lending a hand to older family and friends

Hello! I'm Kathy and I'm the owner, editor and regular writer for When They Get Older. The site was set up to help families help their older relatives and friends enjoy the best quality of life they can in later life. And to balance that with their commitments to work, partners, friends, children and their own sanity! When They Get Older isn't a charity, but it's not a major commercial organisation either. It's pretty well just me here on the keyboard, although I have some great supporters in the background. So if you've found anything interesting or useful on the site, I'd be delighted if you'd buy me a coffee! And please share with anyone who might find the site helpful. Many thanks

One of the first articles we ever published on When They Get Older was about how people are finding themselves in the position of sandwich carers - still responsible for their children but also taking on an increasing role as carers for their ageing parents. And that's on top of commitments to work, friends, and their own quality of life. According to the charity Carers UK, it can take unpaid care...
