Golden Girl Finance welcomes renowned elder care visionary, Dr. Marion Somers, as content contributor and resident expert, to respond to readers' questions on elder care and caregiving for the aging population.
- (1888PressRelease) May 03, 2011 - TORONTO - Golden Girl Finance Inc. (www.goldengirlfinance.ca), Canada's most innovative and modern source for online financial literacy - with a feminine spin - is pleased to announce its latest 'Ask the Expert' content contributor, elder care specialist and thought leader Dr. Marion Somers, Ph.D. (www.drmarion.com).
Dr. Marion - as she is referred to by her loyal following across North America - has more than 40 years of experience as a geriatric care manager and caregiver, and as an author, speaker and teacher regarding elder care and other elder issues. With the senior generation living longer than ever before, Dr. Marion believes we are on the verge of an "elder care tsunami." After decades of working directly with seniors and their caregivers, Dr. Marion launched a public effort to provide practical tools, solutions and advice to those struggling with caring for our aging population. She is the author of "Elder Care Made Easier: Doctor Marion's 10 Steps to Help You Care for an Aging Loved One" and creator of two iPhone apps: Elder411 and Elder911.
In aligning with Dr. Marion, Golden Girl Finance is joining other industry leaders who recognize Dr. Marion's authoritative voice on elder issues, including The TODAY Show, Good Morning America Now, The New York Times, USA Today, Prevention magazine, and Woman's World, among many others.
"As members of the 'sandwich generation' caring for both parents and children, many of our readers face very difficult emotional and financial challenges and decisions surrounding caregiving," said Laura J. McDonald, founder of Golden Girl Finance. Echoed co-founder Susan L. Misner: "All too often, women bear the economic burden of caring for elderly parents and in-laws, and yet they do so willingly and with great love and compassion. We wanted to help them through this journey by bringing Dr. Marion's highly valuable expertise to the discussion. She is truly a thought leader in this field."
"The need to care for an aging parent creates unique and intensive demands of our time, our emotions, and our finances," said Dr. Marion. "It is my goal to make sure no one goes through it alone. I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to work with a trusted resource like Golden Girl Finance to provide much-needed guidance and support for the thousands of people facing these challenges each day."
