Hi, I’m Jess and this is my Mom, Maria. I took care of Mom for close to 10 years (the last few with the help of my husband Arthur) until she recently passed away, peacefully and surrounded by family. We want to keep this blog going with ideas, tips, and resources we picked up over the years for other caregivers. Thank you for joining us!
