Where can I find out what the acronyms used on this site mean?

I am very new to the aging care site, but a lot of times I don't know what people are talking about. They use so many acronyms. I am not a dumb person. Where can someone like me find out what the acronyms mean on this site? Thanks

Thankyou
I hate acronyms.
I hated them when I worked too.
But, the one thing that helps is when the meaning of the acronym is put in parenthesis the first time.

Welcome to the Forum and I plead guilty for using a lot of acronyms -- in the industry and get so tired of typing those long phrases! AlvaDeer has given you a great list of terms and acronyms. You will be using them in no time!!

A lot of it is common across many different internet forums, before AgingCare provided the helpful article what I couldn't figure out from context I was able to discover by doing a web search.

There's you access. I had so much the same problem in the beginning! And a big welcome to you.
