The site, developed by the Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, is designed to navigate users through complicated topics with different tools and resources. Caregivers can select a topic, like finding in-home care and end-of-life care planning, and receive information about it as well as series of questions designed to help them review their situation. Based on their responses, users receive a guide to help them review their options and resources that can help them select the best approach or descision for their loved ones and themselves.
In addition to the decision-making resources, caregivers can also find information about topics related to older adults' health , safety and services that can help them live with dignity and independence.
