Welcome to Caring Matters
The aims and objects of this elderly care website are to focus a Spotlight on Elderly Care. People looking after elderly parents and relatives can find all the information they need to do their best for their elderly loved ones.
I am Don and I have spent over 18 years caring for elderly parents. So many times I have thought if I had only known that at the time – it could have saved so much.
This website has been created with all that I have learnt, to assist those caring for the elderly. It is full of the resources and links to information, help, advice, tips and hints that I think can help in a caring commitment.
Much of the information is out there in the public domain, but often it is so fragmented and difficult to access because it is with many different agencies.
Making this elderly care help and essential information easily accessible for carers to find in this one source, has been a passion of mine and this website focuses on all aspects of caring for elderly relatives, parents or friends.
