A friend from the caregiver support group I attend told me about this web site and this is great!!

i read nearly every AC article ever written before becoming involved in the chat group . one subject has links to others and a lot can be learned . a lot NEEDS to be learned . elder care is not a little walk in the park . it gets complicated .

I belong to this site and the official ALZ site.. this is WAY better in my opinion! Plus it's easier to use! My folks moved in very quickly almost 2 years ago.. this place saved my sanity..

I was googling everything that seemed relevant in a desperate search for answers back when my mom's health changed suddenly. Answers from this site kept popping up, and before too long I had it bookmarked in my browser. I lurked here for over a year before finally posting. As captain says, as well as finding answers for your own problems reading about others experiences is very enlightening and helps put things in perspective.

i feel your pain freq . im a homebody . people who run the roads to entertain themselves drive me nuts .

this site keeps things in perspective . elder care is excruciating but many here have it much worse than others . id also suggest that you read all you can about end of life matters also . things are going to continually change and seldom for the better . youll be much more calm near the end of your mothers life if you have an idea what to expect . she'll get better care too ..

I, too, wished I would have found this website sooner... I would have done so many things differently dealing with my aging parents who still live home alone at their own choice. I wouldn't have spoiled them the first year they had stopped driving. Then maybe they would have made some changes in their own life, live moving into a really nice retirement village that offers free transportation :)
