Tell the person you care for that the car is broken and cannot be repaired; this may prevent them from getting agitated when losing their driving privileges.

I began this journal to share my personal experiences as a caregiver. It is my hope and desire to develop a "community" with other caregivers to share advice, restore hope, and give encouragement. Please comment or submit a daily tip, your insight and thoughts are welcome...

Nationwide, more than eight million family members are providing unpaid care for loved ones 50 and older living in their household. Many of these caregivers are also taking care of underage children. These people need effective tools to manage their loved ones’ health and treatment. Many times care involves handling the numerous medications a person may be taking. Managing these medications and having up-to-date information on dosages can be critical in an emergency health situation. MedsFile.com is a personal, private and secure Web-based database that enables users to easily input and store medication and dosage information, allowing physicians, nurses, EMTs, family members or any designated party to access up-to-date information.
