| There's new help for the family caregiver. |
· Frantic because they are usually thrust into their caregiver role as the result of an emergency – such as a fall or stroke.
· Frazzled because most are women who work full and part time. They may be juggling a job, a home and a family -- all while trying to provide care for a loved one.
· Frustrated because finding unbiased and reliable information on how best to care for a loved one was challenging.
A survey* among 1000+ family caregivers found:
· 50% of caregivers wished home health care products were easier to find with 37% reporting that selecting them is confusing.
· 49% of caregivers report that it is difficult to find local resources.
· 45% found that participating in online caregiver support groups and/or online caregiver communities is very helpful.

In the case of senior care, older adults and family caregivers at times hesitate buying for loved ones online. Most online sites lack the personal “touch and feel” that people want; a face-to-face encounter, a handshake, and real conversation. “That’s why we created our 1950’s style of customer service,” says Lynn Wilson, Founder of The CareGiver Partnership. “All calls are answered by the third ring, by a highly knowledgeable woman who knows caregiving products inside and out – and she’s had previous caregiving experience. That’s who our customers told us they’d prefer to speak with.” You can’t get help like that from anyone online at Walmart.com, Walgreens.com or Amazon.com.
Senior care and aging-in-place decisions will continue to explode over the next 20 years. “Every day we wake up, there are 10,000 boomers turning 65” said Lynn Wilson, Founder of The CareGiver Partnership, a national retailer of home health care products. Caregivers are looking for real help from real people.

Identifying companies with a strong customer service reputation; leading your way to all-around satisfaction.
Being able to compare prices, service and selection.
