About the Author

My name is [Your Name], and I am a son. This website started as a series of notes on my phone—reminders of what worked and, more importantly, what didn't for my 80-year-old father.

One of the core missions of this site is to protect the caregiver. I saw firsthand that the biggest risk to the patient is often the partner getting injured. By sharing these "tips from the journey," I hope to save your family the physical and emotional strain of the "trial and error" phase.

Disclaimer: I am a son and a caregiver, not a doctor. Please always consult with your neurologist or physical therapist before implementing new physical techniques or equipment.
