There is an area for a Profile use it.
Please add as much detail as you possibly can without giving names.
things like:
Age, General Medical condition (dementia, Parkinson's, cancer, etc.)
Town or county is great but at least the State (or Country)
Details like these can help get much better answers and narrow down ideas and suggestions.

On the about me page , Rather than asking for a zip code only,
perhaps a drop down of states , countries. I suspect this is why many ( including me ) do not reveal where they live.

This way people do not have to have the town they live in show up if they don’t want. Having the town show up especially if it’s an odd name ( like my town ) could potentially have people I know realize who I am , say other family members ………who may stumble across this site.

It would be helpful if people had a choice of only revealing country or state if they prefer to leave out the town.

I think that filling out a profile not necessary, IMO there is sometimes an almost malicious scoping out of profiles and previous posts in order to "prove" the forum member is wrong/not who they seem/not worthy of responses. If you can't or won't help move on, if you need details in order to provide help ask for them and if the OP doesn't respond move on - many people are just looking for generalizations and are not interested in anything in depth.

Again I have noticed a LOT of new posts, questions from new members and there is no information in the profile section.
If, when you post a question, you would provide as much information as possible WITHOUT giving private identifying info it would help a GREAT deal in providing good, accurate information.
And a response would be appreciated as well.

I do have where I live. But I understand that some want to keep that private and that is really how it should be. I would appreciate a country though. I think we could answer questions better if we new where a person is from. We go into long posts about Medicare and Medicaid only to find the person is from the UK.

Filling in the profile would be nice.

I agree a country would help .
By the time someone comes here they are very often distraught and forget to mention country in their questions .
Which is why I thought perhaps if country was at least an option on the profile instead of zip code some people may do that .
