COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Caring.com is a leading senior care resource for family caregivers seeking information and support as they care for aging parents, spouses and other loved ones. Care.com has been featured by AARP, The Administration for Community Living, The National Legal Resource Center, and Forbes, as well as referenced by many governmental agencies and organizations across the Internet.
SeniorHousingNet.com offers seniors and their loved ones senior living listings and resources. On our website, you can find a community that is right for your situation, whether you are looking for 55+ Apartments or nursing homes. For instance, seniors who are healthy and active may be interested in 55+ Lifestyles (also known as 55+ Communities) and Independent Living Facilities. If you or your loved one needs some personal assistance, on the other hand, you may want to check out Assisted Living Facilities, Alzheimer’s care/dementia care facilities, or in-home senior care providers. Seniors with medical dependencies may be best suited in nursing homes, and those with short-term medical care needs may be best suited in respite care. In-home care and adult day care are options for seniors who prefer to live at home, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) are unique senior housing communities that offer multiple levels of care that allow seniors to age in one location.
