Having an elderly parent or relative can often be stressful - especially if you don't live close by. The National Institute on Aging estimates that roughly 7 million Americans are long-distance caregivers.

Where do you turn for help when you need information about things like infusion pharmacies, elder care management, respite care and so many more topics?

Here in northern Nevada, we have an amazing resource right at our fingertips. It's called Golden Pages, a publication of Senior Spectrum Newspapers.

It's FREE and available in hardcopy and online. The 2012 edition is just hot off the press!

Whether you want to know about services for veterans, understand the various types of guardianship, or locate a listing of residential facilities specializing in dementia and Alzheimer's care, you will find it all in Golden Pages.

Thank-you Connie and Chris McMullen for working so hard every year to produce and distribute Golden Pages and for including me as an elder care mediator.
