Become aware of the challenges!

Problems of aging are real. Care-giving is challenging. Physical and emotional care at times is frustrating. Elderly neglect, abuse, and exploitation is all too prevalent. Everyone tries their best. Almost everyone fails. Elders deserve protection and compassion. Care givers need education, support, and help. With an increasing older population the situation will be more acute. We can and must do better!

Care Giving Resources

Caregiving Resources: Care-givers, while bearing an enormous burden, often ignore taking care of themselves. Though it is hard to create a support network and delegate parts of the responsibility, that is precisely what they must do. Here we collect and provide some pointers and nuggets to help you start on your care-giving journey. Caring for yourself while caring for your loved one is an equally important act of love.

Support Forums

Support Forums Every care-giving journey is a unique experience. Care-receivers (specially, the elderly) are unique in their needs and ability to cooperate. Informal care-givers are unique in their experience, resources, and other commitments. And often it is a lonely act. It helps to connect to seek advice, discuss, and share. Collected here are a few forums to get help and to help others. Together we can do better.

What can we build for you? Each of us, as care-givers, deals with unique situations related to care-giving tasks. Though specifics may be different, a large number of us face similar challenges and find solutions that may be of help to others. Sometimes you wish for a certain type of solution if only somebody can make it for you. Perhaps others have already created a solution. Please share what problems you face and what solutions have worked for you. Also what new tool or solution might help if it existed. Share your challenges and Ideas on what might help you
