Families fighting for Caregivers

a group I'm trying to get growing called Familes Fighting for Caregivers. I started this blog from the beginning to advocate and share about my life as a mother to a severely physically challenged, totally dependent now almost 24 year old. Several of my blog posts relate somehow to life in the midst of very special individuals who are such a part of ourselves, our lives, our spirituality. Anyone interested, please share the info for how to connect with our group on Facebook. Families Fighting for Caregivers Global Basic Info Type: Common Interest - Families Description: support network for individuals and families who care for special needs family members at home NEEDING ADVOCATES TO CHANGE REGULATIONS/HOURS FOR HOME CARE PROVIDERS AND RESPITE REGULATIONS!!! These families need time to function outside of constant care demands with little to no flexibility given by agencies, that claim to be community based programs........it is time for change that works for us and for our 'challenged' love ones, and does not dictate how or when we can use hours of assistance and who that assistant is for a particular family.....we need CHOICE and Greater FLEXIBILITY and freedom to enjoy some life outside of overwhelming constant, exhaustive demands of extremely dependent individuals because alternatives are poor at best for young adult, especially physically challenged, children of families often caught being caregivers to elderly parents at the same time, severely sandwiched between continuing and often constant basis supervision. WE are the ones giving care to everyone but our marriages and ourselves. Contact Info Annette Monts Falls Email: Annette4clay@aol.com Location: Chapin, SC
