    Caring for Aging Parents
    (2011-03-22) Engebretson, Mark; Robert Kane
    Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. A few years ago, Robert Kane, a professor and expert on aging at the University of Minnesota, was suddenly thrust into the role of caregiver for his mother. The problems he encountered with our nation’s long-term care system prompted him to write a book, titled: "It Shouldn't Be This Way: The Failure of Long-Term Care." Now, Kane has written a second book, “The Good Caregiver.” Kane provides advice to other caregivers. For Public Health Moment, I’m Mark Engebretson.

    Longterm Care
    (2007-05-04) Finnegan, John; Robert Kane
    In his book, “It shouldn’t be this way: The failure of long-term care,” Robert Kane, a University of Minnesota professor on aging, documents the difficulties that he and his sister encountered when trying to arrange long-term care for their ailing mother. We asked Kane: What should people know about caring for their aging parents. Kane says he doesn’t believe government will do more for families until the public demands it.
