Hi there,
I am a fellow caregiver and just came across your blog.
I have been a young(ish!) carer for my mother-in-law, who suffers from dementia, for the last three years now.
I am in the process of creating a new poetry site primarily aimed at carers, but also people with dementia as well – http://dementiapoetry.com.
The blog is an honest account of my experience of caring over the last few years in poems – some silly, some exasperated, some happy, some sad – of my last three years caring for my mother-in-law, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, and is aimed at helping to support other caregivers in a similar position.
If you would be happy to link to me, I would gladly return the favour!

I was amazed by your article because it is so informative. It really gives clear information especially for senior health care. This product from MIT is also one of a kind because it offers 24/7 companionship for seniors to keep them entertained. You can visit their website at http://www.gerijoy.com/
