The ElderCare Team was created to be a complete resource for people who want to be the best senior care managers for an aging family member or friend that they can possibly be.

Whether you're a reluctant caregiver or an enthusiastic volunteer, there is something here for you: Here you'll find a mother lode of senior care articles, tips, books, assessment tools, planning documents, and related resources, all aimed at putting what you need at your fingertips just when you need it.

It's all real world, hands-on stuff designed to help you make the time you devote to an older loved one's care as pain free and as successful as possible...for everyone.

That well-known saying, "You don't know what you don't know," is so true when it comes to wading through the American senior care maze. While everyone will need a slightly different road map, we hope that the information gathered here will help simplify your planning and help make the day to day "doing" a little easier. 

In addition to caring for her own older family members, your Publisher, Molly Shomer, has worked with seniors and their families for 20+ years. In that time she has seen all the wonderful things that family caregivers are doing right, and just as important, where family caregivers can easily get off track or make mistakes they don't know could mean trouble until after it's too late.
