His work shows you both the importance and the realities of caring for your aging parents or other loved ones. De Jong recognized the need for Honoring the Elderly after speaking with the adult Sunday school class at his church. Many families had elderly parents who needed help but didn't know how to begin such an enormous undertaking.

He covers the following: The challenge issued by the fifth commandment The examples the Bible gives of eldercare The team approach to caring for aging family members The issues that come with retirement, illness, and mental decline The tricks to dealing with difficult parents The spiritual side of aging The intricacies of ethical decision making The pros and cons of assisted living homes The importance of preparing for loss and achieving closure With insightful questions at the end of each section, Honoring the Elderly is a valuable resource for couples, families, and classes discussing eldercare.

Download or read book Eldercare as Art and Ministry written by Irene V. Jackson-Brown and published by Church Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the fact that, despite the inevitability of aging, the vast majority of us are ill-prepared for eldercare. Eldercare as Art and Ministry broadens and deepens an understanding of eldercare as an art and as a ministry. As art, eldercare requires creativity, imagination, and perseverance. Here, ministry is considered in its fullest meaning, to include guiding, administering, serving, waiting upon, or acting as a loved one's agent. Through stories, lessons, and poignant vignettes, Jackson-Brown calls each one of us—whether young or older, ordained or laity, fortunate or less fortunate, prepared or not—to serve and care for an aging loved one. For lay people and professionals, this book is a guide to navigate the challenges of eldercare and to find meaning in this important work.

Download or read book Ethics and the Elderly written by Sarah M. Moses and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of gerontological ethics and long-term care, Moses offers a history of the ethics of caregiving, an analysis of the present situation vis-a-vis contemporary society and Christian perspectives, and models for future care that incorporate an ethical responsibility to care. At this historical moment where an aging population, advances in medical care, and the rising costs of such care across the board have made ethics of health care a pressing national question, Ethics and the Elderly offers timely and useful reflections for ethicists, pastoral care givers, and medical providers. Academically sound and written at an accessible level, it will be a valuable text for courses in medical ethics and Catholic moral theology, and will also appeal to non-academic audiences dealing with the growing field of eldercare.

Download or read book Growing Old in Christ written by Stanley Hauerwas and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2003-06-20 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the hallmarks of contemporary culture is its attitude toward aging and the elderly. Youth and productivity are celebrated in today's society, while the elderly are increasingly marginalized. This not only poses difficulties for old people but is also a loss for the young and middle-agers, who could learn much from the elderly, including what it means to grow old (and die) "in Christ." Growing Old in Christ presents the first serious theological reflection ever on what it means to grow old, particularly in our culture and particularly as a Christian. In a full-orbed discussion of the subject, eighteen first-rate Christian thinkers survey biblical and historical perspectives on aging, look at aging in the modern world, and describe the "Christian practice of growing old." Along the way they address many timely issues, including the medicalization of aging, the debate over physician-assisted suicide, and the importance of friendships both among the elderly and between the elderly and the young. Weighty enough to instruct theologians, ethicists, and professional caregivers yet accessible enough for pastors and general readers, this book will benefit anyone seeking faith-based insight into growing old.

Download or read book The First Commandment With Promise written by Randall D. Hargate and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "First Commandment With Promise" is a Christian guide to eldercare planning. In this timely and relevant writing, Pastor Hargate utlizes scripture to both encourage and instruct Christian families in the challenges eldercare can offer. To "age in place" is not only the desired path a senior would choose to live their final years but it is also attainable in many instances. The American social system is not prepared for the tsunami of eldercare that is approaching. The costs to provide the care our parents and grandparents deserve and desire is greater than tax revenues can support. This resource challenges and empowers Christian families to follow the instructions in scripture that direct us to be the help our parents and grandparents need during this season of their life. By applying scripture, practical solutions, modern inovation and a strategy that includes a family and friend support network, the goal of remaining in the community is many times attainable. Their are many motivating factors to consider when examining your families eldercare concerns. The most important factor to consider is your loved ones desire to avoid a nursing home if at all possible. This in conjunction with the all to common reality of your parents or grandparents spending their entire estate on a nursing home stay that possibly could have been avoided are just two of the motivating factors to consider in reading The First Commandment With Promise. Utilizing the years of experience in estate planning and eldercare, Pastor Hargate makes the otherwise technical and complicated world of Aging in Place understandable and attainable. With Gods help, your participation and sound Biblical instruction, you become the one who controls your families destiny, while honoring your parents and grandparents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do digital technologies shape both how people care for each other and, through that, who they are? With technological innovation is on the rise and increasing migration introducing vast distances between family members--a situation additionally complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the requirements of physical distancing, especially for the most vulnerable – older adults--this is a pertinent question. Through ethnographic fieldwork among families of migrating nurses from Kerala, India, Tanja Ahlin explores how digital technologies shape elder care when adult children and their aging parents live far apart. Coming from a country in which appropriate elder care is closely associated with co-residence, these families tinker with smartphones and social media to establish how care at a distance can and should be done to be considered good. Through the notion of transnational care collectives, Calling Family uncovers the subtle workings of digital technologies on care across countries and continents when being physically together is not feasible. Calling Family provides a better understanding of technological relationality that can only be expected to further intensify in the future.
