Caregiver related websites

I just wanted to share a few caregiver oriented websites that have come my way, recently.

First, Caring.com is a site to watch, even though it’s still in beta. According to Tech Crunch, Caring.com just got 6 million dollars worth of funding to launch a community “dealing with your parent’s healthcare, financial, legal, housing, and life issues written by professionals or other users”. (via Hsien).

Also, you should check out Strength for Caring, an online resource and community for family caregivers. The site is part of The Caregiver Initiative, created by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Company, and is divided into six sections: caregiver manual, community, health conditions, daily care, housing, money and insurance.

Finally, the good folks at the Gilbert Guide, a site addressing long term care facilities and services in the United States, are pleased to announce that their content is now free, and, that Gilbertguide.com is new and improved.
