SENIORS
Ensuring a high quality of life for aging adults necessitates access to suitable living arrangements and appropriate levels of care. A nursing home is often the most viable solution when seniors can no longer live independently. These facilities offer residential care to individuals who do not require hospitalization but need around-the-clock care.
To assist seniors and their families, there is a comprehensive resource that delves into essential indicators that signal the need for nursing home care, the array of services offered, comparisons with alternative senior care options, associated costs, and how to locate suitable nursing homes in their vicinity.
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. We have 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.

Dementia and Driving
Dementia and driving can be complicated. Obviously as the condition worsens, those with dementia will have to stop driving. We thought this was important information, so we made a guide that details the laws behind dementia and driving, what are signs of unsafe driving, how to talk to a person about quitting driving, and how a person with dementia can still maintain some independence.
