Need An Elder Care LJ Community

[plumtreeblossom]

I'm really surprised that I can't find an elder care community on LJ. I'm at a point in life where I'm going to need to start thinking about this with regard to my mom, and I have lots of questions. Also, I just really need to talk with others about it.

If I can't find one, would anyone here join (and/or help spread the word) if I started a new community up?

The closest thing I could find that is at all active is elder_caregiver. You may want to ask there, too.

Looking pretty slow over there. I suppose we could all join en mass and make it active, but I'd kind of like some control over the tone and direction of the comm, if it's to be useful for most of us.

Sure, I just meant you could ask for tips there. And also advertise your new comm, of course. It's not that active, but posts seem to get replies, anyway.

Yeah, once I get the new comm up I'll ask that Mod for permission to post a link. IMO the two comms don't conflickt because that one seems to be mostly for primary care-givers, and mine will be for them but also for non-primaries, medical/healing sciences people with advice (if I can get 'em), people receiving care, and just anyone interested in the topic.
