Need to talk?
Hi ,
I hope your year is going well so far! If you're in a cold climate, Rick has some guidance on how we can keep seniors warm this winter. I've come up with tips for how to adapt your home for accessibility. Medications are potentially dangerous, so Carmen is giving us guidance on how to secure medication.
Once again, we have even more chats on the calendar, so be sure to take a peek at the schedule. Of course, you can simply join the public chatroom any time to see who's online.
Are you interested in moderating a chat? We'd love to host chats on:
caring for kids with special needs
dealing with cancer
coping with mental illness
long-distance caregiving
professional caregiving
...and many other topics. Reply back and let me know if you can help!
Best,
