About ElderCarelink

ElderCarelink is an internet-based referral service-free to consumers-that specializes in eldercare case matching for elders and their families. ElderCarelink assists families in finding a multitude of services, including assisted living, nursing homes, adult day care, private duty nursing, care management and homecare. With participating providers in all 50 states, ElderCarelink identifies qualified eldercare service providers and product suppliers who meet the specific needs for each family's individual situation.

ElderCarelink helps families identify the right type of care and services needed by an aging relative or friend, highlighting both medical and lifestyle needs, as well as budget and financing options.

After they determine the needs and preferences of the aging family member, they are uniquely matched with those participating providers in their network who can potentially meet their needs. The names of the matched providers are sent via e-mail to the requesting individual, while the requesting individual's name and profiling information are passed along to the matched provider(s).

ElderCarelink Program Overview

ElderCarelink is a provider referral service that's available to you at no cost-that's right, it's FREE. Their job is to do the research and the work for you so that you can focus on solving your eldercare needs.

Simply put, ElderCarelink matches you up with qualified eldercare service providers based on some basic information that you make available to them. Your specific needs are gathered through a brief online survey, which you complete and submit . The results from your Needs Assessment are then compared against the provider information in their proprietary database. They will identify the providers from their network in your particular geographic area which most closely meet the needs you have identified, and forward them the information that you provide to ElderCarelink.

Once you submit your Needs Assessment, sit back and let ElderCarelink do the work. Within hours you will receive an e-mail containing information about the providers that meet your specific needs. You can then expect to be contacted directly by these providers, who - based on your Needs Assessment - will be prepared to help you address your eldercare needs. If your particular situation is urgent, you also have the option of contacting these providers directly through the contact information that ElderCarelink will provide you.
