A benefit of getting a clear diagnosis for any disease is that you can use the Internet to educate yourself and to reach out to people who are experiencing similar things as you. You are not alone.
One of the things I hope to do on this blog is to share useful links. I'll keep adding to the "Useful Links" section, and write a bit about them when I find them.
Here are a few that I have discovered already:
Peace of Mind - Caring for Seniors at Home I found this during last December's horrific snowstorm when I was trying to find a way to get groceries to my mother, who was living alone.
Peace of Mind has information about and links to Community Services, Caregiving, Housing, Transportation, and lots more. Bookmark this site, particularly if you live in the Lower Mainland of BC.
Alzheimer Society of BC Lots of good information and local links here.
Alzheimer Society of Canada More great links, information, and links to the other Societies across Canada. One of the things they sponsor is a very active Message Board, where you can chat and exchange information with other people who are going through the same thing you are. The personal experience here can be very useful, and as Diane from Peace of Mind (above) says, "It is therapeutic to share information."
