What to Expect and Know When Transitioning from the Hospital or Rehab
By Assisted Living Locators Atlanta
Have you heard a family or elder say, "I had no idea we had to do that?" or "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" or "I don't know what to do!"
Over the years Assisted Living Locators has been helping families not only in metro-Atlanta and North Georgia, but also across the US. Our primary effort is to help families transition loved ones from home or a hospital/rehab setting to a long term care facility or home with services brought in for the elder.
During this transition phase, we have gathered information about our families' experiences and have documented them in a simple to read one-page Checklist.

Tips to Prevent Caregiver Burnout
By Cindy Nelson, Elder Care Law Attorney
Nelson Elder Care Law, LLC
Whether you are caring for an ill spouse, stuck in the "Sandwich Generation"(caring for children and aging parents at the same time), or a professional caregiver, you provide one of the greatest gifts possible, being there for someone in need. Often it is a trying role that can begin to weigh on the caregiver, and can even cause burnout.
One of the primary causes of caregiver burnout is feeling overwhelmed by what all needs to be taken care of throughout the days, weeks, and months while a loved one is ill.
