MY CARE COMMUNITY
My Care Community (www.mycarecommunity.org) is a unique, cost-free program assisting caregivers, patients, and family members who are dealing with advanced illness planning. My Care Community offers information about care giving and elderly care; provides a channel for sharing stories and experiences; and creates a support network with others.
The site provides the necessary resources to help caregivers and families face chronic disease and the latter stages of life with dignity and comfort.
Chronic or life-limiting illnesses raise a multitude of questions, emotions and difficult decisions. My Care Community offers support from the comfort of the caregiver’s home at any time of the day.
