After I finished adding a new real estate article about grab bars to my Active Rain website, I spent some time reading various blog entries including one by Skip Frenzel. He is a specialist in long term care and senior real estate. I noticed he was in the process of putting together a list of caregiver websites as a resource and asking for suggestions. After putting together a list of some of my favorites, I realized this list would be of interest for you as well.
So here tis:
- Carebuzz – Carol at Carebuzz always has plenty of useful info on her site including this article on Medicare D.
- Caregiving – A site full of information and encouragement, they specialize in insights, information, and inspirations.
- A Psychiatrist with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) - David writes from the unique perspective of a physician who has Lewy Body Dementia. He knows the technical details AND how it feels to deal with the disease.
- Transition Home Aging – Dale's goal is to provide insight and information to adult children of aging parents so they may “thrive and find joy” in every stage of life!
- Alzheimer's Reading Room – Bob DeMarco is a full-time caregiver for his mother who has Alzheimer's Disease and writes to share the information he has learned as he deals with this illness.
- EldercareABC blog - An interesting site with an online community for caregivers of aging parents designed by
caregivers of aging parents. They also have a regular blog carnival centered on eldercare. - Taking Care of the Folks – An RN and a caregiver with plenty of useful tips from the trenches.
- Seniors For Living - This site has several writers, leading to a well-rounded resource site. One of my favorite series there is the Boomers and Seniors: News You Can Use blog carnival. Lots of great info for caregivers. And now that you've read about all these great sites, you can can find even more wonderful resources for caregivers in their article, Top Senior and Boomer Blogs and Sites on Twitter.
By the way, be sure to visit Skip Frenzel's website. He has a link to a very interesting article about the penalties for missing deadlines when siging up for Medicare. Very useful information!
