Fees waived through January to allow Baby Boomers to find information to help aging parents.
San Rafael, CA (PRWeb) January 14, 2007 -- While most are breathing a sigh of relief that the holidays are past, millions of Baby Boomers are still waiting to exhale. Having visited their parents over the holidays, many for the first time in a year, they encountered a variety of unwelcome news. The foreboding news they encountered ran the gamut from parents' declining health, to financial concerns, to parents' safety plus countless others. Caregivers have a problem and Parent Care is offering assistance by waiving all fees during its January Caregiver Open House.The Parent Care service provides time and money saving alternatives while reducing caregiver stress levels. Each subscriber receives a downloadable eight-to-ten page Parent Care Report that highlights services in their parents' county to help them locate and evaluate service providers. Summaries of national services as well as those in the parents' state of residence are also provided. A sample report is posted for Open House visitors' review. A program for small employers that have employees assisting elderly parents is also available.
Parent Care also provides seasonal information and monthly articles by experts ranging from relocating parents to reverse mortgages to preventing slips and falls. Weekly chats with other caregiving peers to exchange ideas, daily tips and 24/7 senior-related news are also staples of this comprehensive service. Uniquely, the service is tailored to each individual caregiver. Each receives a personal home page with links to their folks' local newspapers and even the local Better Business Bureau to do background checks on service providers. An array of safety checklists is available as well, along with book reviews, links to videos, e-courses, senior friendly products, applications and forms. A "Smile Maker" section to add luster to seniors' golden years is also included.
"Our hope is that the open house is a catalyst for caregivers to become more proactive in assisting their folks" commented Parent Care CEO William Gillis. "Those who are already assisting their parents will understand that useful resources are available. Those who sense their parents could use help can take that all important first step."
