Welcome

This website is designed to help caregivers and aging adults through the complex environment of aging issues, geriatric services and resources.

We will answer such questions as: “Who can help me in providing senior in-home care?” “What is occupational therapy?” “What is physical therapy?” “What is hospice?” “What is a Geriatric Care Manager?” “What is a Geriatrician and where can I find one? “How can I pay for long term senior care?”

We will attempt to answer questions important to you.  If you would like to learn about resources available to older adults in the St. Louis area, check out the Free Webinar under the ‘Services’ tab.  Blueprint for Care/A Practical Guide to Managing Care for Your Loved One is released in May, 2012 and will be available on the website as well as on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.  Purchase your copy now so that you will have the information at your fingertips to get the services you need for your loved one.  No regrets or wishing that you had known about something!

Thanks to our new sponsor, Deer Valley Home Care Services and Carolyn Bryson, Community Liaison!  They work with the Medicare and Medicaid population in the St. Louis, MO area providing nursing, therapy, companion services and direct consumer services.

Please feel free to sign up for our monthly e-newsletter; tell us about your challenges; explore topics on the blog and meet with other caregivers.  Our goal is to provide information that you will find useful and offer practical tips to make your life easier and less stressful.  Helpful links will connect you to other websites that you will find valuable.  From time to time, different professionals will be invited to share their knowledge and experience. i.e., dementia, Alzheimer’s, chronic disease management, etc.  We hope you will find this helpful.

Caregivers have a tough job to do and we want to support them.  Seniors are also navigating a difficult time in their life that includes losses (financial, social, friends, health and family, etc.) and many adjustments.  We want to honor you and offer some tips to help you face these challenges with grace and dignity.
