About Caring.com

Caring.com was created to help you care for your aging parents and other loved ones. Our mission is to give you the information and other resources you need to make better decisions, save time, and feel more supported.

There are more than 34 million of you today caring for parents, grandparents, and other aging relatives (see Facts on Eldercare, Aging, and Caregivers). Most of you, research shows, also work in demanding jobs. Many of you are sandwiched between generations, caring for both your parents and your own children. You have to make complex decisions daily, and you frequently find yourself alone in your role as caregiver. It can be a difficult and overwhelming experience.


A trusted resource created by caregivers for caregivers

Caring.com provides the practical information, easy-to-use tools, and personal support you need during this challenging time. Our seasoned executive team, editors, and technical staff have decades of experience producing award-winning health and family publications. But perhaps more important is that nearly all of us have first-hand experience as caregivers. We know well the day-in, day-out concerns of care giving, and we're dedicated to offering you advice from trusted experts in geriatric medicine, legal matters, finances, housing, and family issues, as well as community support from caregivers like you.


Accessible eldercare information relevant to your needs

Caring.com features original content focused exclusively on eldercare and end-of-life matters. We research and fact-check every article, checklist, and buying guide meticulously, and our advisory board reviews the site regularly to assure the accuracy and relevance of the material we publish. We have hundreds of articles and checklists on health, housing, finance, legal and family issues, and other caregiving concerns, and we're adding new articles and other resources every day. By registering on the site and creating your profile, you can tailor the content you see to your specific needs -- for example, to the appropriate stage of care or an individual set of medical conditions.


A community of fellow caregivers

We also know from experience the value of a supportive community of fellow caregivers sharing their collective knowledge and insights. You can connect with people who face the same challenges you do, get answers to your questions, and share advice with people in similar situations caring for loved ones.


Reliable advice about products and services

It can be confusing to choose among the wide and complex array of available products and services -- whether they're designed for medical care, to ease daily living, to finance care, or to increase seniors' mobility. We don't sell products. Instead, we help you make confident, informed choices and better purchase decisions through our thoroughly researched articles.


Respect for your privacy

We understand that eldercare includes personal information about health, finances, legal concerns, and other personal, private matters, and we want you to feel comfortable using Caring.com and its services. Your privacy matters -- we won't share your individual information with any advertiser, marketer, or third party without your permission. See our privacy policy.
