Are you a family caregiver to an older adult?
In other words, are you providing assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and any other household tasks?
Are you the one who accompanies the older adult to doctor's appointments, retrieves prescriptions from the pharmacy, manages his or her finances?
If you don't directly assist with the tasks I've just listed but you check-in with the older adult by phone and coordinate services from a distance, you're still a family caregiver.
* Family caregiving can be overwhelming. *
Many family caregivers have questions about what is best for their loved one and they need good advice that is available when they are.
If you're looking for someone with whom to consult about the specific challenges you're facing...

What questions do people contact me to discuss?
Questions like:
When is it time to consider an assisted living facility or nursing home?
How do I find out what Medicare will pay for?
What do I do if my parent doesn't want to spend his or her money?
How do I get my siblings to help out more in the care of our parents?
And on and on.
