There are only four kinds of people in this world...
Those who have been caregivers,
Those who currently are caregivers,
Those who will be caregivers,
Those who will need caregivers.

~ Rosalynn Carter, 1997

In the past five years of caring for my own parent, I have found that it has been a very lonely and daunting task. Let's begin a grassroots effort of caring for all of us on the front lines caring for Mom & Dad.
If you care for, or have previously cared for an elderly loved one, please join us!

The adult caregiver, with all the efforts in helping care for their Senior loved one, is a Noble SWAN. (Seniors, 'We Are Near'). It will be through the success of the launch of AnswersForElders.com, that a non-profit organization will be formed to help men and women like us in the form of financial aid, scholarships, small business loans, and grants.
It is a dream of mine to help caregivers come together to help each other.
