Aging parent thread/forum?

[Circe]

Crowdsourcing question ... do we have any ongoing threads about assisting aging parents? If not, can any of y'all recommend a good forum for that? Being on PS has spoiled me: all of the ones Google is suggesting to me are considerably worse than what I'm used to on here, quality-wise!

Hi Circe! There's this thread -https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/a-thread-for-those-caring-for-aging-parents-etc.216887/. It kind of moves in fits and starts, but I think it has potential. I considered starting it over here but I think it stands a better chance in Hangout. The more the merrier - I actually need to start using it more myself!

Hi Circe - I'm not an active member on this forum but I felt I got some good advice a few times, I really can't speak for the quality of the forum overall but it's worth checking out - there also seems to be some good resource info on it too http://www.agingcare.com

Thank you, VRBeauty & JuneBug ... I'm going to check both out immediately. I need all the help I can get.

Hugs Circe, I'm caring for an elderly parent myself and it can be rough going…one good thing about consulting the forum I mentioned is I didn't feel so alone, it made me realize others are dealing with similar issues, and there was a measure of comfort for me in that. If you ever want to commiserate I can meet you over in the thread VRBeauty posted lol!
