Is there a list of acronyms that are used?

WyoNana, i know what you mean. When I first came onto the forum and saw IL, NH, and AL, I honestly thought why are elders all moving to Illinois, New Hampshire, and Alabama???

WyoNana, funny! I would never have thought of it as Saturday Nite Live because I've never watched that show.... Whenever I saw SNF, I would think "Snafu".

Hi WyoNana,
Welcome to the Caregiver Forum. I hope this helps:

First words that popped in my head - MasterCard.... then tried to brainstorm... finally decided to hit the link from AgingCCM. I wasn't even close...

Monte Carlo? I'll start packing :))

I don't recall seeing MC used a lot a few years ago.

Thanks so much for all the info!! Now I know SNF has nothing to do with Saturday Nite Live...maybe Sat Nite Fiasco.

NH = Nursing Home
AL = Assisted Living
Alz = Alzheimers
UTI - Urinary Tract Infection
POA = Power of Attorney
DPOA = Durable Power of Attorney

There are more, but that will get you started.

So, FF where did you think elders were moving to MC?

MonteCarlo would be wonderful don't you think? Wonder what care is like there.😉
