First of all, I would like to thank you for visiting the Sallycares.com family.
It is my intention to help you with the difficulties that you are having managing your care at home.
I do not want you to ever alter or change the information you have been given by your treating medical professionals, due to something that you have read on our web site.
Our information is meant to be educational, and if you would like to look into treatment alternatives in your area, realize that you are doing that at your own risk.
You should keep your physician’s office involved with all of the medical decisions that you make.
If you need direction regarding how to locate information for your specific questions, please use the “Contact Us” Tab on the home page of the web site. Your questions will be answered by one of our staff members within 24-48 hours.
To begin to problem solve your situation, we need to start at the beginning. We need to define what the problem is. You may feel that there are “too many to count,” but I would encourage you to believe that if you feel that way, you are over whelmed.
Let’s approach this by looking at the actual physical limitations the patient has, that you are caring for. Go to the Free Forms Tab if you are visiting the site;
Click on the Patient’s Physical Limitations Form: You will see a form that you can complete to document the patient’s status.
Then I want you to click on the Caregiver’s Comments Form, and complete that form as well.
The answers on those two forms will be our starting point to get to know your concerns and your needs.You can share your answers with us if you would like, or keep them in a file at home for you to reference as you try to develop a plan to manage those things that concern you. After you complete these forms, use MyGoal Chart to get started.
If you join Sallycares.com, we can store your information in your file at Sallycares.com.
You can fax your completed forms to (941)492-2433 or email your completed forms back to us.
If you have chosen to join as a Platinum Member, that membership includes direct review of your situation by Sally, when you send us photos and/or videos of the challenges you are having.
Whatever you choose to do, we certainly want to help both the patient and caregiver, problem solve their home management issues, and we look forward to working with you!
Kind Regards,
Sally “ Let’s Get Going” J

"If you're going through hell, keep going."Winston Churchill When it feels like you are living your worst nightmare, you probably are.

I personally think that being spiritual is very helpful when we are doing our…
Being a caregiver is a challenge, when the behavior of your loved one involves confusion, and behavioral changes. People with Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss frequently have behavioral problems.

With all of the changes that are taking place in healthcare we need to realize that Medicaid and Medicare are changing too. What we know at this time is that Medicaid is continuing to remain in place for patients from age 0- 20, and will pay for rehabilitation during that time period, when prescribed by their treating medical professionals. The…
It is becoming more frequent to see medications distributed in blister packs, rather than in pill bottles. Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors. For the elderly, this packaging style can be very difficult to manage, if the person has problems with fine motor or hand coordination and/or arthritis. If you…
I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living. When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens? The most common reaction to a lack of oxygen is a sensation of panic, because our brain is very smart. Our brains tell our lungs to respond with small, quick breaths to compensate for the feeling that we do not have…
