The Senior Care Blog is a New Resource for Seniors and Senior Caregivers

According to a recent Gallup poll, 7 out of 10 working Americans are caring for an aging parent, relative or loved one. To offer support for these families, caregivers, and seniors, Emeritus Senior Living launched TheSeniorCareBlog.com last month. The blog is designed to help answer questions, provide resources and support, and engage followers in discussions on aging and caregiving.

“At Emeritus Senior Living communities,” said Jayne Sallerson, Executive VP for Emeritus Senior Living, “we talk to hundreds of thousands of individuals each year who are taking care of a senior loved one at home — and they are hungry for information, resources, support and assistance. We launched TheSeniorCareBlog.com to help fill that information gap, and provide an avenue where our readers can offer their tips and suggestions as well. The blog includes a wide range of topics on real-world caregiving issues and solutions.”

All of the writers featured on The Senior Care Blog are experienced senior care professionals, mostly from Emeritus Senior Living. Based in Seattle, Emeritus Senior Living is a national memory care and assisted living provider. Their more than 28,000 employees support more than 470 communities across the country.

The Senior Care Blog offers information and tips for seniors researching retirement and long-term care. They also offer tips for caregivers to make their work easier and to help alleviate stress related to caring for an aging parent or loved one. Personal stories offer a place for family and friends of seniors to share experiences and find comfort. Readers can even share their own tips!
