A note about advice
Useful perspective, never a substitute for professional care.
We share practical experience for families. Medical, legal, financial and care decisions should be made with the appropriate qualified professional.
Nothing here is medical advice
My Modern Companion is a non-medical companionship and lifestyle support service. Nothing on this site diagnoses, treats, prevents or cures any condition, and nothing here should replace guidance from a physician or care team.
