5. Hello Sally
   Many thanks for taking the time to leave me such a lovely comment about my work at Caron Cares and I am so pleased you find it useful. I love discovering new products and services to help the elderly, as by nature I am a problem solver!I look forward to being in touch with you more also.

6. Hi Caron, I enjoy your blog very much and the products you seem able to find always seem to be great solutions to problems we encounter a lot. The no nonsense way you review them is spot on. Keep up the great work Caron and we look forward to being in touch with you more.

7. This message is from my contact in Nairobi at the disabled fellowship. They kindly donated one wheelchair and I am continuing to work and support them. It was really sweet to receive this comment from them.

   Thanks Caron for thinking about the elderly who are mostly left without much help when they need most care and support from the community.

8. Thank you for your comment Robert. I am pleased you enjoyed the newsletter. I don’t consider myself to be a good writer however I am passionate about my work and write from the heart.

13. Hi! Found your website through Webituary. Just wanted to say, good idea you have had. Nice and useful website, just like Webituary. New idea, and nice idea! Keep going!

14. Hi Adrian and I am pleased you like the site. Please help me spread the word?.

    A long brush is a solution to reaching ones feet, however in a shower this worries me in case the person topples over when leaning forwards. There are some foot brushes that have suckers that attach to the shower tray or bath.I am very ticklish on the soles of my feet and some of the ones I have seen would be a challenge to me!However for many they have been a fantastic solution to a common problem shared with those with back pain and pregnant women.

    I will write a post today and publish it tomorrow with the items that are available.
    Hope this will be helpful to your friend.
    Best wishes,
    Caron.

15. Hi Martyn,
    Thanks for the kind words and for signing up to my weekly newsletter. I hope you will find it interesting and lighthearted?.
    I couldn’t agree more with you regarding the more resources available to carers the better which is why I distribute the room thermometers at my own expense on behalf of Age Uk. We are all in this together, Sharing is Caring.
    I look forward to your blog and will write a post about it on Caron Cares for you and a link.
    Best wishes,
    Caron.

    Liked the site; lots of information.
    Have you come across a gadget that could be used by an elderly relative of mine in the bath to clean her feet? A long brush is the obvious answer but she wants to clean the soles of her feet.

17. Hi Caron,

    Yes it’s the one who added to your post about clocks for people with dementia. I’d love to share the Day Clock for Digital Photo Frames with others, and will be setting up a blog where the images and instructions can be downloaded. I’ll post you the link when it is ready.

    As a carer for my Mother who has vascular dementia, I believe that the more resources available to both carers and the elderly is priceless. Keep up the good work.

19. As the carer for an elderly parent (like most Baby Boomers nowadays) I am on the learning curve of what else lies ahead in this stage of our parents lives.

    This is a very good resource site, hope it does well for you too.

24. Hi Caron,

    you are doing a great job. May God bless you abundantly.

25. Hi Sidney,
    Thanks for visiting Caron Cares. I shall take a peek at your blog too. Hope you do find something of use for your mum on my site.

26. Great website Caron. I found this through Tiffany’s Chanllenge…I need info on my elderly mom so finding this was perfect timing. Looking forward to checking out the info you have here.

27. Many thanks David for your kind words.
    It truly is a labour of love for me and I love being able to share the things I discover for the benefit of others.
    Until this morning I also knew nothing about The Silverline. It is a wonderful resource for the lonely and isolated elderly and I shall be spreading the word.

28. Hi Caron,
    Thank you for emailing me via Linkedin. Your website looks great with excellent content. I also checked out Silverline, which I didn’t really know much about.
    The work you do is fantastic!
    Best wishes
    David

29. Hi Caron, great website! I wondered if you could please send me a free age uk thermometer please?

30. Also see http://www.onlinenexus.co.uk

    Good work you are doing. Also love the SW and come by Exeter often in the Spring and Summer. Meantime, I am working on a project to do with

    > Activities – reminiscing
    > older people talking about their history, perhaps showing old photo albums. Recording some stories and pics for sharing
    > bridging the digital-divide because of course spartphones which record voice and have cameras can be used, also to show folks lucky enough to have online friends and family members to encourage Skype and FB etc., may also point to ever more online resources for elder care.
    More anon

    Meantime let me know if you have any thoughts on the above

    best wishes
    Peter

31. can I please have a free ageuk thermometer for my 80yr old mother

32. Thanks for that comment Ambrose and nice to meet you via Linkedin.

33. Caron, I think you are doing a great job and it’s a fulfilling one. I hope the MP of your constituency have seen your work and commend it? You really need funding and help from them rather cutting services and compromising care of the elderly. I think you are blessed. Keep the good work on.
    More grease to your elbows. God bless you abundantly.

34. Thank you for contacting me Anne,I have posted it to you today. Please allow a couple of days for delivery. Please help spread the word about Caron Cares and the thermometers.
    Best Wishes, Caron.
