hi Catherine:

Yours is an excellent suggestion. Different communities call services by
different names and some services that are available in one community may not
be available in another. But it certainly behooves all of us to find out what
our community offers, because all of us will face a parent who is
overhwhelmed, depressed, negligent, etc. (or all of the above) at some time
or another.

Thanks for pointing me in a new path--I gotta find out if there is something
like that here in Cincinnati.

Karen
