FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (September 1, 2010) - MySeniorCare (www.myseniorcare.com), a leading online resource connecting families with prescreened senior care providers, recently announced it has joined forces with Home Helpers, the nation’s leading senior care franchise specializing in non-medical and personal care and companionship for seniors, as an approved vendor.
Through this business relationship, MySeniorCare will drive highly qualified leads to more than 200 Home Helpers franchises nationwide by connecting them with an audience of families actively seeking home care services for their loved ones. All Home Helper franchisees will be profiled as MySeniorCare-confirmed listings, a credentialing program that includes validation of background, insurance and licensing information.
MySeniorCare allows families to search, review and connect with more than 10,000 prescreened member providers in the home care, senior housing, and hospice industries through a directory-decision tool. Families are able to search by geography, specific type of care required, and payment method to engage with providers based on their specific needs. The directory also features comparison tools, enabling users to further examine senior care providers and read reviews from families, agencies and medical professionals. Families can find the directory on MySeniorCare’s website and through its affiliate partners, including insurance companies, pharmacies, associations, media publishers and web search.
“An increasing number of families are using the Internet to make informed decisions about senior care for their loved ones,” said Emma Dickison, president of Home Helpers, Caring Hearts and Direct Link. “It is critical to our success that we utilize this channel to establish credibility and exposure in the home care market. MySeniorCare has a proven track record of success in attracting and driving actively interested families seeking home care, thereby empowering our franchisees to grow their businesses by increasing exposure to a highly targeted audience while mitigating financial risk.”
