I am a caregiver. As a caregiver I getvangry about who is gonna care for me. Outside activities, and yes, that hour Virtual GrandPad session is my relief/release. I wish this ‘free’ item offered more-thank you for listening to my ideas for the future of GrandPad and additions 🙂

I will send your comment to our Community Programs Specialist.

I get where Daphne is coming from and feel the same. I just keep hoping through Senior programs like this we’ll be able to connect and eventually lean on one another. There’s a lot of us out there.

I work with my caregiver my daughter as I’m fairly independant but we probably could use some assistance as she is employed fulltime but we are making it.

Thank you Molly B. for getting back to me on “senior assistance for my mom. You, Molly, answered questions, one was with STL County Human Services-Berkeley. I know where my research stands. I’ll be Googling my ass off at FV and Ferguson library. Oh yeah, am I eligible for a free phone lol :).
