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!

Agreed Mark (even though Im cuttnig in on your convo with Greg) which is why its dangerous to appear to mess with the recognition of victims, which is about emotions, impressions.Thats why I think Mclelland really was a bit of a klutz over the whole deal.I loathe Howard’s opportunism on the issue, but frankly, I can well understand some punters taking a dim view, and not necessarily a kneejerk one either, but a considered yeah, fair enough, I dont actually want the state to kill people either, but shut up. Sensitive issue for some. Keep a lid on it. You’re putting me off my chips. Of course, then there’s the 1-2% of drongos who just heard ALP supports terrorists . Not much hope for them, but they propbably werent onboard TEH O7 express anyhoo.

“i would like to say that Senior Companions assist others to maintain the highest level of dignity and independent living possible. Companions help out homebound adults by assisting with a range of activities such as shopping, chores, interacting with doctors, or just making a friendly visit.
These non-medical services help make a senior’s life more manageable. Senior companions are essential “eyes and ears” to family members and supporting agencies involved with the senior. Most importantly, they act as a friend who listens and cares.”
