A new site called http://www.carerunner.com is the perfect solution. Developed by a woman who cared for her family member with Alzheimer’s the site helps families stay coordinated.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Hi, I’m Samantha Young and I started Practical Care over 9 years ago. I got to Austin as fast as I could and have lived here for over 30 years but who’s counting. I root for the University of Texas football team and spend my days keeping my young boys out of trouble. For over 20 years I have been helping people with elder-care issues. From Nursing home administration to adult day care to home care I have seen it all. For the past 10 years I have been running my own company which helps older adults stay independent and at home with dignity. I love what I do! Especially sharing information that helps families breath easier and older adults live healthier happier lives.

Follow my blog, I promise I’ll always post interesting and relevant information. And please let me know how I am doing. If you have questions or need resources let me know. If I don’t know something I can always find someone who does.
