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 contacting the long-term care ombudsman in the area where the nursing home is. You can go online to www.ltcombudsman.org and type in the Zip code, or else you can go online to her state website and look there. Their job is to help with nursing home problems.
Good Luck,
Carol
