Where can I find a list of the frequently used abbreviations (ie. AL, IC, MC, DH ) that are on this site?

Geaton77 has given the most important ones. If there are more you were curious about, agingcare.com itself has a list of them as well. It’s a little intimidating so I’d start with the list above first.

IL = independent living
AL = assisted living
MC = memory care
OP = original poster (of the question: you, in this case)
LO = loved one
PoA = power of attorney
CCC = continuum of care community (a type of facility arrangement)
DH = dear husband
DW = dear wife
MIL = mother in law
FIL = father in law
GM = grandmother, GF = grandfather, GSon, GDaughter, etc
DIL, SIL, etc. you get it...
