Carol Bradley Bursack, Mar 28, 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."

 

Try www.arthritis.org. This is the Arthritis Assn. and they have a lot of education on the disease. Her doctor should have suggestions, as well. Maybe some physical therapy can help her.
