There are several questions asked over and over by newcomers to the forum. I realize that on the home page, if you scroll down, you will see the article that addresses the most commonly asked question ("how do I get paid to be a caregiver?"). I think it would be helpful to have the top 3 or 5 most frequently asked questions on the forum come up right way without having to scroll. (I've only been on this forum since last summer and I've seen that particular question what feels like hundreds of times.) Then when someone clicks on that question, it links to the article, and at the bottom of the article are links to the most recent occurrences of that question on the forum. Just thinking that participants' time can be better spent by addressing less common/more complicated questions?
Why won't my father stop driving?
Why are my siblings so useless?
Why do my siblings always interfere?
How do I get power of attorney over my loved one?
What are my rights to see my mother?
My wealthy parents are now frail and need care and it's so horrifically expensive that the inheritance they worked and saved and hoped to leave us is vanishing before our eyes. This seems very hard. What can we do about it and still feel good about ourselves as citizens?
When I see these questions, I will often respond with only a link to the article. I should be more welcoming, but the issue of being paid pushes my buttons as it is too close to my own dysfunctional situation, which is now done. But maybe the article link will at least provide information and keep a thread viewed a bit longer so others will see it and respond.
