Care Givers

Aired on Lifetime Television
Sunday, July 23 and November 12, 2006

Show 319

Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Jamie share the caregiver story of Sheree Walker-Armstrong and her husband. They just moved her 71-year old father in with them. They're compromising throughout the day on everything from meal times to what to watch on television. So far, so good though. They say communicating honestly and respectfully is the key to harmonious living. The couple also has one child, a toddler who keeps his grandfather busy. Sheree and her dad enjoy walks together and reminiscing about old times.
