One of the most predictable things in life is that it can be unpredictable. Even those of us who are extreme planners sometimes find ourselves in situations for which we couldn't have possibly planned. Being summoned for Geri-Duty is a prime example. Geri-Duty can sneak up on you while you're raising your family, building your business, or planning your retirement. This website aims to be a place of non-judgemental support for those of us who are caring for an elderly family member with cognitive decline. Thank you for stopping by.
