CT Home Care Program for Elders: A Gem Worth Knowing About (1-800-445-5394)

Lucky me, I learned about the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders run through the DSS Alternate Care Unit. Their number for information is 800-445-5394.The pamphlet I picked up reviews some basic 'facts of life' such as nursing home care costing many tens of thousands of dollars a year.

Groups called Mothers of Lost Children and the CA Protective Parents Alliance have worked to promote Resolution 72.
 
That would help protective parents, generally

Before the final moments of Mother's Day go by I wanted to cheer us all on in our mothering and othering efforts, including doing some good self care and appreciation. I put a lot in the title so I can keep this short. I've actually been running a bit short on sleep and doing extra care-giving so that's part of why I won't wax poetic into the midnight hours about all things Motherhood, from women to others who nurture people, pets, critters, plants and pacha mama (Mother Earth.)

See a book by Laurie Lisle (yes a nice local person I am fortunate to know) who wrote about not being a mother

 While we have many things to tend to when it comes to rearing The Next Generation as a Society from maternal health and infant and child care whether at home or in care centers, schools, and faith groups and wider parts of a community (libraries, parks and recreation programs and all things basic to making a good home), The Courts Rule and too many protective mothers and children play the fool to corrupt or inept judges, attorneys, guardians ad litems (kind of a funny name and abbreviated as ...wait for it...GALs!) and mental health professionals and child protective services and family
