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."

 

You could go to your state Web site and look under their version of "aging services." There you would find contact information to help you find local sources of funding. Even though Medicaid and other resources are federal, they are locally administered. Good luck.
