In 2007, a few friends who were each caring for an aging parent noticed a lack of information online to help them navigate the complexities of caregiving. Not finding the one-stop online resource they needed, they decided to create it themselves. The result was Caring.com.
Today, our company is filled with people working to make a difference for others. Here are a few members of the team and what caregiving means to them.

When my mother fell, broke her hip and then fell again and broke the other hip while in rehab from the first fall, I needed resources. It is my privilege and has been for the last 4+ years to reduce the stress for families and potential residents by providing options. This is my calling, not a job."

Very prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. Ron called me back to follow through and offered to answer any questions even on his day off.

Carla was very friendly and helpful and offered many suggestions. Both my wife and I were pleased with her attitude and general concern for our situation. We both felt like she genuinely cared and wanted to help us get the best care for my father possible.
