I have been in practice for 17 years. Many of my patients are over age 65. A lot of the information on this page also applies to patients with chronic illnesses at any age. Many of these Links help patients or their caregivers find sources of both support that may be available in a community and direct instuction on how to care for a chronically ill patient.

• Alzheimer's Disease
• Administration on Aging
• American Geriatrics Association
• Caregiver's Handbook
• Family Caregiver Alliance This excellent site is based in the Bay Area. Although some informaton pertains only to the San Francisco area, this site has information on behavior management of elderly confused patients, community care resources, how to get legal help for aging problems (guardianship,power of attorney,etc) and many other items.
• Dr. Stall's Home Page This Excellent site has been put together by a geriatric Internist in Buffalo. It is very thorough and includes some of the links already listed in my home page.
