I agree with a couple of the other comments. Some of the questions were too 'generic'. I too live in the same home as my mother and the age should have been more specfic. Also I checked that my siblings give me a day off, but it is rare and I have to work around their schedule, so it's not like I can plan anything, but have to go when they will come and my mom will allow it. She hates it when anythng out of the routine changes.

I believe a stste by state list of care givers would be helpful so people could get to know each other and possibly reach out to others to share break times. I have been at the end of my rope several times and could have used a friend to allow Mother to visit for a day or two and certainly would be glad to do the same for some one else.

The only problem I had was my Mother does not live 0 to 10 miles from me she lives with me in my home.

Have tried to do the survey a couple of times butbit won't advance past the first question. But now that I see the two comments, I may rethink it anyway.

I started the survey and then stopped at the second question. You don't have an opportunity to tell about all the people I care for and all the issues. I am caregiver for my mother (95, dementia), father (100, general health decline), and husband (76, colon cancer). While I find this site extremely helpful, I find the survey totally out of sync with my reality.
