Over half of Americans say their parent is their best friend, according to new research.
The survey of 2,000 Americans aged 40 and older revealed 58% feel closer to their parents now more than ever before.
Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Comfort Keepers for the National Day of Joy on June 26, the survey heard from respondents about experiences they had with a parent or parents in their “Golden Years” — the phase of life that begins in one’s senior years, typically after retirement.
According to the survey, respondents and their senior loved ones who are in their Golden Years are shopping together (33%), trying new restaurants (26%) and traveling to places they have never been before (16%).
