Eldercare Locator

The Eldercare Locator is a government website that allows you to search for different services for your elderly loved one.

You can find information on providers for services like:

1. Adult Day Care
2. Home repairs and modifications (for elderly loved ones who need their homes customized to accommodate their needs)
3. Food and Nutrition
4. In-home services

And so much more.

You can search for what you need by zip code or the name of your city.

Caregiver Forums

The caregiver journey can be lonely.

Sometimes you just want to be able to find a community of people who understand what you’re going through. Perhaps some of these people are going through a similar life phase or have to care for an elderly loved one with dementia like you have to.

This is where forums become an excellent caregiver resource.

Forums are also a good resource when it comes to finding out information on how to carry out certain processes.

Some of the most active caregiver forums out there are:

1. The Aging Care Forum
2. Patient Info
3. Caring.com Support Groups

Facility Reviews

Looking for a reliable source for long-term care and assisted care facilities?

The first place I suggest is Google.

Simply place the name of the facility in the search bar and in the top right hand corner you will see Google Reviews.

Read these reviews with a bit of reserve because most of the time people will post a review when they have had an unsatisfactory experience versus a good one.

Apart from looking for reviews on Google, you can check OurParents.com and  APlaceForMom.com for reviews as well.

AARP

From saving and investing, to movie recommendations to spotlights on seniors who are simply rocking the elder thing, the AARP website is a rich resource for caregivers and seniors alike.

Reddit Elder Care Thread

If you are a user and fan of Reddit, the Elder Care subreddit is worth checking out.

All the resources on this list should keep you going and well-educated for years to come!
