Connects People to Their Ideal Care Givers

Are you having a hard time finding the perfect caregiver? Do you find yourself wondering where to find the right person to care for your loved one while you are away on vacation or whenever it is your turn to carpool, and feel confident that you are leaving them in good hands?  Traditionally, these caregivers were found via classified ads and a series of interviews. This time-consuming method is far from practical, especially since most need caregivers as quickly as possible. Senior Care Central eliminates all the hassle and gives you control in finding a caregiver by using technology to enhance these traditional methods.  The result is a fully-functional, expeditious way to find your ideal caregiver online with a comprehensive search for quality home health caregivers and skilled nursing services at home.

Use the Database of Caregivers

Senior Care Central is an extensive database of caregivers. Browsing the membership site is free and all you need to do is enter your zip code to see the listings of providers in your area. To use the service to connect to caregiver’s information will cost a one-time membership fee of $39.95. Members are able to contact one another and make arrangements to meet once they are comfortable.

About Dr. Mauk

Throughout her teaching career, Dr. Mauk was constantly asked for referrals for home caregivers. In many of these cases, the person who needed the care didn’t qualify for home care as per their insurance policy. They needed an affordable solution to help get them the care they needed.  Dr. Mauk would email all of her nursing students and offer class credit in exchange for providing care. This cut the cost of using a traditional home care service, which often has a four-hour minimum and after a while, Dr. Mauk founded senior-care-central.com to meet that need.

Senior-care-central.com serves the member and caregiver needs nationwide and speeds up the process of finding a caregiver right away without having to contact Dr. Mauk directly.  You can set your own care terms and find someone who is willing to work with you and your loved ones by searching in your local area.  Whether you are looking for a nursing student to help you get to the grocery store once a week or need someone by your side all day, you can find qualified individuals by becoming a member of Senior-care-central.com online.  By using Senior-care-central.com, you take control of your home care by finding a local caregiver that works well with you and your family.
