If you've just joined us, Welcome.
I created this forum to help others who are going through the difficult process of finding and navigating care for their loved ones, from long distance. And by long distance, I mean from one city away to one country away or even on the other side of town.
When I started this journey on my own, I struggled to find resources or a community to lean on. Now, after years of experience and helping others along the way, I wanted to build a space where we can come together, share advice, and support each other.
Whether you're just starting out or already deep into the process or been there/done that, this forum is here for you. Let’s help each other with our experiences and hopefully make this a less stressful journey.
Getting started
You don't need to have a specific question to get started - just click to whichever post you would like and say hi, introduce yourself and start to share.

Key Tips for Privacy and Safety:
Remember, this is a public forum, so most posts (except in members-only sections) are visible to anyone online.
Register with a username that doesn’t reveal your full name.
Avoid sharing personal details, like your address, email, or phone number, in public posts.
Be cautious about posting information that could identify you, such as where you live or specific dates you'll be away.
Connecting Outside the Forum:
I'm not your parent :), but I do worry since I've been there and still am some days. I strongly advise against connecting with members outside the forum. Since many of us are in vulnerable situations, it’s best to keep communication within the community to ensure safety.
If you decide to connect with members outside the forum, do so carefully. Build trust before exchanging personal information.
Maybe do so on FB, if they have a page but again - please use caution.
More importantly, if anything feels "off" or dodgy, don’t hesitate to report it. Email caretechconsult@gmail.com
