Circle of Care

By Gail Sheehy

You need to create a circle of people who will assume some responsibility for various aspects of care. Let members of your family and friends who have not been involved know that you have reached the end of your rope. They may assume you're handling it all. Even long distance, they can definitely be helpful. And don't be shy about asking for help from neighbors, coworkers, or your community. A professional care manager can save your life.
