On line support for caregivers of stroke victim?

[Imogene]

Community: My high school friend Dennis's wife had a stroke almost 2 years ago. She had worthless care in a system that failed every step of the way. Dennis is frantic, asking all his friends for help....
Well I was sure, I could find a good on line support group (like ours) only for stroke victims and their caregivers.
Well after a half our of searching on line and FB, I found nothing worth while!
Do any of you have any suggestions for an online group?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure about other online support, but we went through something similar with my mother-in-law with a brain injury. We ended up going with home health care paid for by Medicare. Although it is a pain at times, we avoided the nightmarish Alzheimer nursing homes.

Thanks for the suggestions...I passed them on! Wow Heather, I'm glad you are better.
I think Dennis used up a lot of the home healthcare Medicare allotment here in NJ.
He is just angry with the system.
