Website to Help Caregivers Find Help Paying for Elder Care

9/24/2013

 
Picture
There is a website available to help caregivers and families find resources to help pay for care.
http://www.payingforseniorcare.com/

"To help caregivers, we offer a searchable database of over 400 programs that help pay for or can reduce the cost of care be that home care, homes modifications for aging in place or adult day care.  One simply enters their situational information and our database provides them with a list of all their relevant programs and options.  Given that assistance can come from so many different local, state, federal, non-profit and private organizations, the challenge of discovering assistance programs is great, let alone determining and resolving eligibility requirements.  We believe our database is a great time-saving and frustration-reducing resource."
