Over the span of two decades. I cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, I created a portable support group – the book Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories. My personal experience expanded to include my Web site, www.mindingourelders.com  and my blog  www.mindingoureldersblogs.com , both of which include helpful resources as well as links to direct support.. My newspaper column runs weekly in print and online, I speak at workshops and conferences and have been interviewed by national radio, newspapers and magazines. I write for www.ouralzheimers.com, write and moderate a forum for www.agingcare.com and am the editor-in-chief of www.elderCarelink.com.
