Today a great article was filed in the New Jersey Star-Ledger. Columnist George Berkin paints a great picture of what it’s like to have a loved one in a long term care facility. In all honesty it sounds like his mother has been placed in an ideal nursing home with great care. Please take 3 minutes and read this article. I think you will find that you will relate as a caregiver or family member.

It is important to spread good stories like the one above. Behind every elder there is a loved one or a great caregiver that is part of their story. For many of you, you are a part of their life story. Remember this the next time you get discouraged or frustrated.
