The September 24, 2013 edition of Boomer Generation Radio
features a conversation with Nora Jean Levin, executive director of
Caring From a Distance, founded in 2002 to serve the seven million
Americans who help manage the needs of seniors or other loved ones
while living hundreds of miles away. The organization was created
by men and women who personally struggled with the anguish, stress
and frustration of long distance care. Levin is also the author of
How to Care for Your Parents
Of the book, Amazon.com says: "A time-saving guide to help families successfully map and navigate the unfamiliar terrain of eldercare, this unique handbook provides simple decisions-making tools so grown children can help their parents take charge of their long-term health, welfare, and housing needs."
Through its one-stop website, http://www.cfad.org,
Caring from a Distance offers a bridge to the full spectrum of
local eldercare resources, from housing through home services to
respite options. CFAD accepts no funding or advertising from
individual service providers. Support comes from volunteers,
foundation grants, on-line donations and individual contributions.
USA.gov, the U.S. government's official web portal, links direct to
Caring from a Distance as a reliable information and service
resource for long distance caregivers.
