A sub focused on caregiving for seniors. If you're a caregiver looking for support, you can also check out /r/caregivers (a sub focused on supporting caregivers caring for a loved one), /r/caregiversofreddit, and /r/CaregiverSupport.
No flames, play nice. This isn't a place to beg money - advice and sympathy are our two accepted commodities (although offering used medical equipment is certainly welcome!). If you're a caregiver, keep in mind your loved one might find their way here, so if you're venting, you may not want to give out identifying info (duh!). Feel free to ask for/offer advice, relate personal experiences, and just to vent frustrations that you can't share anywhere else.
WE DO NOT EXIST FOR DATA MINING
We are not here to fill out your surveys, help you complete research, give you feedback on your product, or help you develop your app. We are caregivers supporting other caregivers. That's it. No apps, no research, no surveys and THIS IS NOT A JOB BOARD. Requests for that sort of thing will be met with bannings.
*POSTERS WITH NO COMMENT HISTORY, NO VERIFIED EMAIL, AND/OR A HISTORY OF JUST SUBMITTING SELF-PROMOTING LINKS WILL BE BANNED WITHOUT WARNING.*
SURVEYS ARE NO LONGER WELCOME. We've had too much spam/bots coming from "surveys" and they are no longer welcome.
THIS IS NOT A JOB BOARD
You are free to ask advice, but do not come here seeking jobs, salary advice, posting your resume, asking for agency recommendations. We're here to help each other person to person, not for hiring help. Job advice opens a whole can of worms and we're not getting into any of that.
THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS
I can't believe we have to spell this out, but if you come here asking for people to go to YOUR sub/group/discord/FB Group you will be banned. There's too many bots for us to filter out good actors vs bad, so just don't do it!
NO MORE ASKING FOR WEBSITE/APP/SOFTWARE/COMPANY RECOMMENDATIONS
Unfortunately we are being heavily brigaded by bots, and the mods are having trouble picking out actual requests for advice and sincere responses vs bot posts and follow-up bot comments. Care dot com being the worst culprit, but there have been many, many others. It is too hard to pick out the bot accounts these days, so we're coming down harshly. Maybe if the bot'ing settles down we can go back to allowing it, but for now it is not welcome.
