New caregiver group reminder
Just a reminder that I started a group to capture the information regularly shared with new caregivers. I added some sites and documents that are often shared (Tam Cummings Handouts, for example) and started a few discussion threads where I thought we could add useful member posts so they're easier to find later. This site is so clunky to navigate (and the search function is poor), so I'm hoping the group is helpful.
New caregivers keep posting and let us know how we can help.
Experienced caregivers please add to the discussions. Also, let me know if you want to be set up as a leader of the group so you can help maintain it and point new caregivers in the right direction.
Finally, if you're not super comfortable with the group functionality, you can feel free to tag me on a post you want to share and I'll be glad to add it for you.
