Carol Bradley Bursack, Mar 4, 2010

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

I'd advise you to go to your state Web site under aging services and look for a local contact. Also, if either is on Medicaid, there may be some help for you so go through your state Medicaid services.
Good luck,
Carol
