Other search options
Unfortunately, many other search tools you’ll find on the internet are sponsored searches. That means that the list of home care agencies that are featured are displayed because those listings were paid for by the home health and home care agencies. Granted, there is nothing wrong with this, but it is important for those searching to be aware. The list of search options include:
- Care pathways
- Caring.com
- Care.com
- Agingpathways.com
- Agingcare.com
- Retirementliving.com
- Seniorcare.com
- Angieslist.com
As mentioned, these are potential search tools but we don’t recommend the use of home care agency sponsored search options such as these. Overall, this is because they are only paid placements listed, or they highlight agencies that pay for direct marketing.
