Elder Care Options

I created "Guide to Elder Care" to help individuals like you navigate the maze that is health care and particularly, long term care. It is my hope that this guide becomes a comprehensive reference for you to use in your search for the right type of service for you. The satisfaction of knowing that I helped someone in need is what has motivated me to start this website. With this guide, I can help more than one family at a time.

You may ask, "What type of elder care service do I need for our situation?"

I wish I had a dollar for every time I was asked that question.

We are fortunate to have a variety of options when it comes to long term care services and each type usually has many companies offering that particular service. A search through google or the Yellow Pages can make you feel overwhelmed and wondering how and where to start.

In this website, I will be discussing the different types of service options you have. Each button on the navigation bar will take you progressively through your options for selecting the kind of care you are looking for, whether government sponsored with no or little out of pocket expense for you or private pay facilities.
