You know what worked for me, is that I physically went to my local hospital (it isn’t a massive hospital) and started searching for social services to track down support meetings. It took some footwork, but I found a nurse that worked in outlying programs, she told me about a dementia caretaker support group, I went one time and met some really nice people. It only meets once a month, but it’s something. I also have a couple of computer groups I try to catch. They are tricky to find. One of them is through UCLA AD, which is my H’s med care team. Another is a webinar with Tami Anestasia, an expert on caregiving, who has written books. I can’t remember how I found her tho.

@lkbous Wow, you are really a go-getter! Be careful or everyone will hire you. Even if it’s just to find the cafeteria! I’m glad you found a support group-do you still go to meetings?
It sounds like everything is going OK for now. Or maybe it’s just that you have a good sense of humor. I certainly don’t mean to take your situation lightly, but , when I’m writing this at10:30 pm I need a little laugh .
Thank you! Becky
