    I just wanted to share this site, http://www.thecaringspace.com
    It’s a great resource for families looking for assistance and health services for a loved one.

    Families seeking caregivers can register for free right now. They get unlimited access to an entire network of caregivers, optional promotion of their position to interested caregivers, free conference call service, as well as helpful resources and downloads!

    The site’s online caregiving community is rapidly expanding so it’s really a good place if you’re looking for elder care help. Good luck!
