About ParentCareGuide

Our Mission

ParentCareGuide exists because we believe no one should have to figure out eldercare alone. When you're suddenly thrust into the role of caregiver for an aging parent, you're often overwhelmed, underprepared, and desperate for answers.

We've been there. We know what it's like to frantically Google "power of attorney" at 2 AM, or wonder if you're making the right decision about a nursing home, or feel crushing guilt about not doing enough while also burning out from doing too much.

That's why we created ParentCareGuide: a comprehensive, trustworthy resource that gives you the practical information and emotional support you need, exactly when you need it.

What We Believe

• Information should be accessible. Eldercare is complex, but guidance doesn't have to be. We break down complicated topics into clear, actionable advice.
• Caregivers matter too. You can't pour from an empty cup. We emphasize caregiver wellness because your health and happiness are just as important as your parent's.
• Every family is different. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. We present options and help you make informed decisions for your unique situation.
• Trust is everything. We cite authoritative sources, acknowledge limitations, and never compromise accuracy for clickbait.

Our Content Standards

Caring for aging parents often involves health and financial decisions with serious consequences. We take this responsibility seriously:

• All content is thoroughly researched using authoritative sources including government websites, medical institutions, and peer-reviewed research.
• We clearly distinguish between educational information and professional advice. When you need a lawyer, doctor, or financial advisor, we'll tell you.
• Articles are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure accuracy.
• We're transparent about affiliate relationships and how we fund this resource.

The Caregiving Community

You're part of a community of over 53 million Americans who serve as unpaid family caregivers. That's more than 1 in 5 adults. You're not alone in this, even when it feels that way.

We hope ParentCareGuide becomes a trusted companion on your caregiving journey—a place you can turn to for answers, reassurance, and the knowledge that what you're doing matters more than you know.
