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."

 

Hospice care is covered by Medicare. Call your local hospice and see what the options are. Most hospices provide care in homes, nursing homes and other places. Some have free- standing cottages or homes. Check around. You should find something.
