Hi! I just discovered this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I live in Maryland and coordinate care for my mother who lives in Florida. I spend one week each month (for the last 14 months) in her home. She has 24 hour care by 4 amazing caregivers. I have constant questions about optimal care and how I can help. No questions at the moment.

    Hi sjfrank - welcome to 'here', but sorry for the reason.

    Whew! Distance caregiving isn't easy. That is great you have those you can count on.

    Hello sjfrank! I am still pretty new here too, so I can totally relate to the constant questions. You have found an amazing resource though. The awesome people on here have been the best support and resource that I have come across, even better than the professional providers that I am working with for my dad.
