LA Elderly: A Facebook Support Group founded by Michelle Porjes
Caring for elderly family can be very challenging. We must be committed to safety, pain management and dignity. Nothing is forever, situations and needs change and thus, plans for care will change.

This facebook group is designed to be an open forum for discussion, information and support for caregivers/family of the elderly.

LA Elderly is in memory of Hannelore Sylvia Porjes, of blessed memory, who passed away December 19, 2017. May her name be a blessing to all those who knew her.

To join LA Elderly, visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/2037711333107413/
