    There are quite a few movies that I want to see. I’m trying to get a group of caregivers together to go. Those in Brooklyn this weekend and want to possibly join me, please let me know.

    Thanks to those of you who shared your insights into my difficult situation with a client. It continues to be challenging, but you’ve been helpful. 🙏

    My home exercise routine has been up and down (no pun intended) for the past few months. The holidays and all that go with them made it difficult to keep up. Any caregivers out there want an accountability partner? DM me, please.

    I saw My Care Friends post on LinkedIn about the launch of Global Caregiving Youth Collective series. This is awesome! I was a caregiving youth and it absolutely impacted me in various ways. Great that there will be light on this topic from young carers themselves!

    Is this for real? Blood test “clocks” predict when Alzheimer’s symptoms will start.

    One thing that’s happening a result of all the difficult changes in the healthcare system is that I”m becoming a much better (stronger) advocate for both my mom and myself. Ask questions and don’t be afraid to say you have a right to know all in your records, because you do!!

    What a challenge it is to have family that won’t help with my mom! This includes a brother that wants very little (nothing) to do with actually helping, as shown by his actions and not his words.
