Welcome Blog Party visitors!  Thanks for stopping by!

I started my blog The Intentional Caregiver in 2008 when I was caring for my father who had dementia and congestive heart failure. Back then, there weren’t as many resources as there are now so I wanted to share what little knowledge I had on the subject of caregiving.  I had been a nurse for many years but my patients were prematiure and sick babies, so caring for an aging parent was all new to me.  My father passed away in 2009 and then my mother, who is 92, began living with me.  She just moved to an independent living facility in Canada this past week.

We also have a Facebook group that support family caregivers in all situations. If you’d like to join, go to Caregivers Connect.

My gift to you today is a PDF copy of our Mobile Organizer.  I created it when caring for my father and it proved invaluable.  Although I love technology, I found that having a physical binder worked better for us as I could keep important papers in it (receipts, prescriptions, lab orders, etc.) and could hand it over to the nurses or doctor to review.  You can print it out and place in a binder with dividers.  Directions are included.  Just leave me a comment (so that I can capture your e-mail address) and I’ll get it sent out to you. (It may take me a day or two.)
