Care.com recently launched a new Senior Care Directory, offering nationwide resources to help you care for your elderly loved ones.

Assisting our aging relatives is becoming an increasingly important issue facing many American families, and women are still shouldering the majority of the responsibility for that care. I'm pleased that Care.com can now offer solutions to ease the process of finding and hiring care providers anywhere in the country, with nationwide listings by state in the following categories:

• Health care
• Housing resources
• Transportation resources
• Home care
• End-of-life care
• Legal resources
• Financial planning and management

Read our press release for more info on the Care.com Senior Care Directory and the plight of "The Sandwich Generation", or check out our Articles & Resources section for editorial tips and advice on planning for senior care.

If you're currently looking to hire a senior caregiver, remember to search Care.com by ZIP Code for trustworthy local providers near your elderly loved ones.

Cheers,

Sheila
