Kathrynne and "All," This is the first time I've heard 'bout the "Mr. Long Term Care" Web Site (and here I was thinking I was the ultimate - next to our Cyber-sis Janet) <smile> medical-related Web surfer), so I hustled on over to the site right away to find out what I'd been missing. WOWIE!! I found Martin K. Bayne's site to be one of the most comprehensive, information-packed, medical-related Webs sites I've seen. Certainly it's unique for it's frank discussion of long term care for the individual living with a chronic disease. There's a VERY discrete reminder of Mr. Bayne's association with New York Long Term Care Brokers Ltd., a company he helped to found many years ago, but I found the presentation of this information very useful, rather than totally self-serving. While this site addresses many different chronic diseases, it's Youth Onset PD information referrals are amongst the most complete I've come across as are the PD and/or long term care books that are recommended in Mr. LTC's Bookstore. The "Bookstore" itself is a co-venture with the justifiably famed online bookstore, AMAZON BOOKS. Finally, there's a discussion area on this site for folks like us with similar concerns about living with a chronic disease and long term care. This site is a MUST-SEE, in my opinion! FYI.... I have no financial or personal association with Mr. Long Term Care - either the Web site, it's designers, or the individual. ASIDE: Speaking of the site's designers, ATAC Corp designed and manages the site. Gotta tell ya, folks, I think they did a SUPER design job (read THAT as very creative and well thought out) Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Kathrynne Holden, MS,RD Sent: Monday, March 16, 1998 6:52 AM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: PARKINSN Digest - 14 Mar 1998 - Special issue Maureen Allen wrote: > Before you apply or even think you might be needing Medicaid, Learn as much as you can.

I believe this site has been mentioned before, but for those who may have missed it, Martin Bayne has an excellent site "Mr. Long Term Care" on which is posted a wealth of information regarding these kinds of questions.
