Its a shame more people didnt take advantage of these services, most dont know they exist. Just like purchasing a medical alert system , most dont realize that some insurance companies will help off set the cost. I purchased responselink for my mother and her insurance reimburses the cost monthly. The cost is minimal already but every dollar counts.

Although this is good information for some - I wonder if the author is a caregiver herself .....her bio at the end reads more like marketing that "street cred" ...
sorry to sound cynical but there you have it.

Does anyone in Jersey City, NJ know where I can purchase incontinence supplies such as diapers and chucks in bulk rather than buying it off from Walmart or at the grocery stores. Would greatly appreciate your feed back.
