I am one of the co-founders of A Place for Mom. We created the company because we felt there had to be a better way to find eldercare options in the US. We've created this community site because of a strong, deep belief that families will benefit greatly from talking to others who are struggling with the exact same eldercare issues.
The thing I hear most often from families is their sense of being all alone and without help in their efforts to care for an aging loved one. Yet the fact is that there are over 10 million people involved in caregiving for loved ones every day!
It is our goal to provide a place for those people to meet and share.
