CONVALESCENT CARE
​
Beyond a network of close friends, the most-important resource we've found -- whether preventive or sustaining -- is the Telecom "call button," a 24/7 interactive emergency system. We also found a rather comprehensive listing of residential and day centers and home care (SAD) services. See listing below.
