Let's say "hi" to our newest members -- @Michael Kemry @Shawn Fletcher @Jay Kloss and @Inger Glasper If you’re caring for an aging parent or loved one—and feeling unsure what to do or where to turn—you’re in the right place. The Family Care Compass exists to be a place where: > you can share common experiences, > learn what steps to take, > navigate care decisions with confidence, > find those surprising and unique tips, and > to make sure you have a chance to laugh and relax in a supportive environment. You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t even need to know the right questions yet. This community is here to help you find your direction—one step at a time. While we all share many things in common as we care for our older loved ones, each situation is unique and deserves special attention. So, to get started, please share a bit about you -- 🌎Where is your favorite vacation spot? 🍿What is your favorite movie? 😎What is your favorite emoji? Again, welcome!! Looking forward to sharing ideas, experiences and thoughts with each of you!

Hi everyone! Well, I have taken some much needed time off but my brain kept spinning on things I wanted to talk to you about and get your insights. Holiday times can be some of the hardest to balance all the events, activities, shopping, baking, visiting friends and loved ones, etc etc. And, it can be particularly hard when you have friends or family members that can't easily join you for a whole lot of reasons (illness, injury, can't drive, lives too far away...) So, how do you include those loved ones who may end up feeling left out of all the fun? Here's a few ideas on how to keep everyone involved but I'm sure you have more you can add. Be sure and vote -- then add your comments on what you've done in your family.
