New episodes include:
May 2: deals with three families who discover they cant do it all and need to reach out for help from institutions, elder care professionals and attorneys.

The world of assisted living facilities and financial benefits is complex and difficult to navigate especially, when a crisis occurs.
May 9: explores the final chapter of caregiving and how palliative care can change the way both the patient and his or her caregivers take this final journey. And, Steve Lopez, renowned writer for the Los Angeles Times reveals his own personal story of caring for his aging father. While the episode explores the inevitable, it also shares the stories of three remarkable super seniors who are re-defining what it means to grow old as well as a 90 and 100 year old couple who seem to have found the very sexy secret to staying young. This is a show about how we are both taking control over how we die and discovering ways to prevent it as long as possible.
