Over the last decade of DailyCaring's existence, readers have reached out to let us know how much they enjoy the site. The following is just a sampling of the nice things people have sent our way.
I want to add how much your emails help me in caring for my 89-year-old mom, who has been undergoing cancer treatments for 10 years. It has been and continues to be a lot, and I need to find a support group. I appreciate all that your emails offer to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. —Cheryl
Thank you, for all you provide to caregivers. You are an amazing group. I am always providing your emails forward to all that are old and new to caregiving. You have no idea you have helped me on my journey with my parents. My Mom is 101 and has been living with me since 2015. It’s a hard journey but with your help it does help me with my patience and care. —Gina M.
So many of the articles were relevant, practical, helpful and supportive of me as a carer as well as helping me to understand how to help Dad. They also prepared me for what was to come and how to manage things as successfully as possible. I cannot praise your organisation enough and I am so grateful for the contact with you and the articles you sent me each day. —Christine D.
At times where I felt alone and drowning, DailyCaring was a lifeline. I had daily emails that somehow always knew what I needed to know. You took some of the fear of the unknown away and instead empowered me with knowledge, scripts, and products to try to fight through some incredibly difficult times. Thank you for being my lifeline. Thank you for helping me give my mother and my family a better life. —Nicole W.-S.
Thank you for the best website out there. A number of us turn to you regularly. —J.S.F.
I ABSOLUTELY L❤️VE the Daily Caring website & FB page! Thank you for gathering much needed info for senior care & putting it into one easy to access & navigate location. —Martha S.
THANK YOU for your emails, it has helped me out A LOT with my mother. Your articles are very informative and a short read with a lot of information. —Mercy M.
Thank you for your encouragement and support. Your articles are a valuable education. My husband was diagnosed in early December with moderate to severe vascular dementia which happened rapidly. The decline was shocking. I’ve learned quickly from you how to deal with his delusions and sundowning. It’s amazing how your tips have worked at this stage. Our home is calm. I’m sure worse is coming but I have good supports in place. Thanks again. Keep up the good work. —Dianne B.
I so enjoy getting emails from DailyCaring. The information, games, and the exercises are all so helpful. I live 8 hours away from my mom who has Altzheimers but yet I am able to do so much through FaceTime implementing so many things I have learned from you. —Nancy F.
“…your emails were full of useful advice, tips, and insights that kept us all going. Keep up the great and important work!! —Dina
Hello 👋 and thank you for your emails on caregiving. After reading them, I feel more secure, refreshed, self confident and confident. I am a personal care attendant /home health aide and I've worked with people who have had various types of diseases and or conditions. It isn't possible for us to take classes, or our work places to provide classes on various issues anymore. Covid, among other realities have slowed down these benefits. Sooooo 🤗 again, you are appreciated 👍. —L.S.
The DailyCaring email is one of the best on the internet. Easy to understand and broad knowledge base. —Joe S.
I appreciate receiving the newsletter. It has good variety, easy to read suggestions, and a friendly tone. —Lois
I am the Education Coordinator for a top home care agency in the U.S. I cannot thank you enough for this DailyCaring newsletter for dementia clients, it is very helpful not only to the families, but also as a teaching tool for caregivers. Well done. —T.H.
It's like the Reader's Digest of caregiving and aging information. —R. C.
I find more people in my life who are put in a temporary or permanent caregiver duties so I have forwarded your emails on to many. One example – I know a senior friend of mine who had a need for help getting to doctor appointments for a new health issue that made it hard for his mobility. He was able to get signed up with one of the senior ride services I'd read about and forwarded his way. You provide a lot of good info! —S. F.
Every morning when I wake up, I have about 100 new emails. But I always read the DailyCaring email. I love the articles! —S. S.
Thank you for the excellent post today on The Big List of Gift Ideas for Seniors. So many adult children and grandchildren are at a loss for what to give a loved elder. No one wants to give yet another ‘trinket’ that adds to clutter and requires dusting. These ideas are terrific, especially the ‘experience’ ideas – taking them to dinner or an outing, or hiring SilverRide to do so if the family is too far away, certificates for pampering, or practical ‘helper’ gifts – all are great suggestions. Your website is such a terrific resource! All of your articles are thoughtful, address a need or question and are full of practical information, tips and resources. Not like the other leading caregiving websites – they're all full of fluff! Thank you for all the effort you put into each article, it really shows in the quality of the information. —I. D.
I enjoy reading the DailyCaring posts. They’re like my daily regimen now. DailyCaring always gives me practical tips that I can use when I connect with my mom who is 90 years with Lewy Body Dementia. Family caregivers tend to forget about themselves. Thank you for the reminder, from now on, I need to stay more active physically and mentally to prevent myself from cognitive decline. Keep up the great work! Connie, sharing your 20-year elder care experience and knowledge will benefit the baby boomers and their elderly parents in a great way. And, sharing the useful information and helpful advice with family and friends is a great way to stay connected. —V. L.
I like that it's not all doom and gloom like other websites. —J. G.
I didn't know I could get the help I needed from a Geriatric Care Manager. I didn't know they existed until I saw the DailyCaring email about them. It's so helpful to have this information. —R. K.
The information is so useful! I keep all the DailyCaring emails in a special folder so I can find them easily when I need to know something. I also like to send them to other caregivers who might find the information helpful. —K. J.
