Building on its long-standing expertise in family care, the service is a first-of-its-kind offering on the Care.com digital platform and the most robust senior care advisory service available in the market. The new service gives families direct access to master\u2019s-level social workers who help them develop a comprehensive, individualized care plan\u2014designed to simplify one of life\u2019s most complex and emotional decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caregivingintheus.org\/\">The Caregiving in the U.S. 2025 report<\/a> by AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, 63 million Americans are providing ongoing care. \u201cThat is one too many families left to face the caregiving process alone. We\u2019re changing that,\u201d said Brad Wilson, CEO of Care.com. \u201cCare.com has powered caregiving with technology for nearly two decades. Now, we\u2019re focused on being more human than ever, providing expert one-on-one guidance when it matters most. It\u2019s a new standard for how care planning should feel: less like navigating a maze, more like finding a path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using Care.com\u2019s Senior Care Advisor tool, families can expect:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A comprehensive senior care navigator <\/strong>with dedicated, step by step guidance, from finding in-home care and senior living communities to managing complex situations, such as home safety, benefits, family dynamics, and connections to trusted local resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One-on-one consultations<\/strong> with a master\u2019s-level social worker to develop a tailored plan, factoring in medical, financial, emotional, and logistical considerations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personalized recommendations<\/strong>\u2014no referral fees or provider commissions, ensuring recommendations are truly in the family\u2019s best interest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>90 days of ongoing support<\/strong>, with advisors conducting in-depth research to assess quality and recommend the best fit, saving families time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>90 days of Care.com Premium Membership<\/strong>, giving families the ability to hire in-home caregivers and manage other household needs directly through the platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Families report that the service saves them an average of fourteen hours of manual research. One customer who trialed the Care.com Senior Care Advisor service earlier this year shared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur advisor is an exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate counselor and gives me the sense that I can manage nearly impossible situations. Everybody undertaking eldercare needs an advisor in their corner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s announcement is just the beginning. Care.com plans to offer additional self-guided tools to help families quickly identify the right care options and next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The service is priced as a flat, one-time fee\u2014a model suited to families who need support during a particular stage of the caregiving journey.
