Senior Guidance (https://www.seniorguidance.org/), an organization dedicated to providing senior living assistance to the elderly. At Senior Guidance, our mission is to help senior citizens during their most difficult times. Senior Guidance provides numerous helpful resources and articles on senior living, aging, dementia, senior care, caregiving, and more. In addition, we enable seniors and caregivers to search and find 50,000+ senior living facilities across every city, town, and county in the United States.

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.

Here is the link to this resource : https://www.caring.com/caregivers/best-medical-alert-systems/

It is a comprehensive guide dedicated to improving the lives of older adults through assistive technologies. The CDC states falls among older adults are extremely common with an estimated 2.5 million older adults treated for fall injuries in the U.S. every year. An estimated 25,000 of those fall injuries result in death. Justifiably so, 8 out of 10 caregivers are worried about fall prevention for their loved ones.

We have made it our mission to research personal emergency response system and other assistive technology to find ones that truly enhance the lives of seniors and their families by coupling an independent lifestyle with safety and peace of mind.  

Just added January of 2020:  sharing new resources with you that I think would be an excellent companion to the last resource I had sent you. These are great resources that can help seniors and their families understand all the programs that can help pay for senior care.

We published a guide to help victims of Alzheimer's and their caretakers:
  • Take steps to set up a living will
  • Protect their loved ones from fraud schemes
  • Rebuild credit after identity theft
  • We've also included a checklist of important financial documents to gather for your loved one.
