Are you a family caregiver in the Phoenix metropolitan area or maybe a long-distance caregiver for someone who lives in Phoenix? I find that connecting with other caregivers is the best way to learn about local supports, tips and resources! Introduce yourself and let's keep this thread going to share any Phoenix area resources we know about!
I'll start:
I live in Chandler and am caregiving for my Dad who is 93 and has Alzheimer's disease and lives with me - I came out to Phoenix about 9 years ago from Washington, DC to care for both of my parents. My Mom passed on 4 years ago. My sister and her two sons moved out here from Ohio about a year and a half ago and lived with us the first year and now live next door! It's perfect so we can all care for Dad. I also have another caregiver who supplements our care. We also care for his aging service dog, Mr. Jackson, who requires as much care as Daddy now! But he is still "on the job" and wants to be there for Daddy. I've also worked in the field of aging for 35+ years and am currently a caregiving expert for AARP.
I look forward to interacting with my fellow Phoenix area caregivers!
