www.Caring.com may be just the ticket for family helping Gramps

Finally, I've come across a website that looks so promising, I might encourage all my readers to just go there! This does not mean that I won't continue GrampsCare. But it looks like some other folks have done a lot of work to create the type of website that I envisioned when I first started this blog. It's called Caring and is at http://www.caring.com/. A picture of what you see when you go there, is below. I heartily recommend visiting and browsing around!

I don't know if they have my ideas that have helped us and others - such as the wireless doorbell that Gramps can easily press to call for help. (Still my favorite.) Or the laptop beanbag "writing table" that Gramps uses for breakfast, lunch and dinner plates to eat easily (instead of those cumbersome swingaway or rolling tables.) But the site is full of all sorts of the information that I've been trying to make available to others like me.

So you'll be doing yourself a favor if you check it out - Caring at http://www.caring.com/:

  5. Caring has been a very good resource for us, especially in finding out how to get paid to be a caregiver for a family member.
