Helping my mom ease into AI
I'm thinking about helping my elderly mom get set up with Claude or ChatGPT. (Free ChatGPT allows more usage even after the limit has been reached. This could be a bonus for her.) She has suggested interest in it a couple months ago and has not mentioned it again since.... - USAYE...
Hi, Is social security making it difficult for your mother to get her benefits? Just curious because my mother is having some issues and at 81 years old i don't think she should be having such a stressful time dealing with this....

I wish I could do more to help them. They're the type to medicate first, which isn't my preferred first course of action. My suggestions often fall on deaf ears. They've developed their ways of being over years and while I don't always agree with these ways, I accept who they are and continue to offer ways to support them.by

I'm 70 and my health issues run the gambit...heart attack, several mini strokes, one major stroke, COPD, knee replacements, hip and back surgery, diabetic and the list goes on.... - onWhat do you wish more people truly knew, understood, or acknowledged, about the realities of senior care and living in senior community facilities? Examples: compassion, challenges, emotional toll, financial strain, etc. Residents, families, staff, leaders/admins; all perspectives welcome. Tell your story, and encourage others to participate. This is a listening project.byJgoularte...
I just put my 91 year old mother in one, and it’s very hard at first on the elderly if they have not wanted to move into one but now must stay because of safety concerns .
