Hello. I am the primary person in charge of my mom’s care (long distance). She’s in a nursing home. I live out of the country and am wondering if there are any online support groups for those who provide lingo-distance care.

    Welcome to the forum. Although this forum is not real-time, it's the best support group I've found anywhere.

    Welcome to the forum, this is the place IMO. You can also do a search at this link under ”Alz Assoc programs and events” and search for support groups with whatever zip code you desire. There should be virtual support groups available.
