The goal of The New Elder’s Blog is to build a community that will wrestle with difficult issues related to aging and develop better ways of dealing with the challenges that may arise. Each person’s experience is different, so there is no cookie cutter manual for any of us. It is my wish that we build a repository of ideas and experiences available for access by anyone in a time of need.
I envision being able to search the catalog with key words and pull up 10-20 examples about how others have addressed a related problem. If we are lucky we may discover an option that is a perfect solution to the situation we face at the moment. It is more likely that we will read someone else’s story and take part of her solution to apply it to our own situation. Maybe we can embellish on the idea to make it work even better for our unique problem. The new solution can then be added back to the Repository of Better Ideas for others to access.
There has never been a better time for constructive criticism. Let’s hear about a BETTER IDEA of yours.

Kathy
Thank you so much for your help and direction. Having to deal with my 93 yo mother remotely has been a very stressful situation. Your help and guidance has been tremendous.
I will recommend you to any of my friends who need help with the elderly parents.
Regards
