Thanks for visiting our web site.
We hope you will find information here that will be
useful to you or to your organization in the long-term care of the elderly or
disabled.
We have also provided information and articles about a
wide range of subjects that we know are of interest to the professional and
family caregivers of the elderly and the disabled. For the family caregivers,
we have an extensive collection of articles about the
income tax and estate tax laws applicable to
the typical kinds of income received by the elderly or disabled and the kinds
of expenses that are needed for their care. We also have an extensive
collection of links to articles on other web sites that deal with various
issues such as Elder Law,
Elder Money, common scams,
meetings and conferences and other web sites that
provide helpful information on related topics.
To expand the information available in this web site for
the benefit of professional and family caregivers, we welcome articles and
reports from authors with an interest in the
subject. Any authors will be recognized and any authors will retain the
copyright to any material they contribute for publication on this web site.
To maintain this web site and to expand the information
available to caregivers, we need and welcome
volunteers who are interested in assisting us with the process of locating
useful information, helping us with research projects, editing contributed
articles or reports, editing web pages, checking links to other web sites,
getting our web site listed in search engines, directories, other elder care
web sites and the web sites of other organizations that are willing to
establish cross-links with us. The more committed volunteers we have, the less
financial funding we will need. Those volunteers who do not object to having
their names published will be listed on our volunteer
page.
However, there are always expenses and research efforts
that can't be "funded" with volunteer help so we also need
financial assistance in the form of research
grants, contributions by other non profit organizations as well as
contributions from for profit organizations that provide products or services
to the elder care community. Recognition for contributions will provided in
the appropriate web page for sponsors.
