Silver Planet Launches Silver Advisors
March 23, 2010
Silver Planet, a company whose web site provides 20,000 pages worth of free content about aging and home care, has recently launched Silver Advisors, a program that offers professional consultations about senior housing decisions and related issues.
“Children often live far from their parents, but want to help them make the best choices for their situation,” explains Karen Klein, the CEO of Silver Planet. “We empower boomers to make decisions on age-related issues and how to make the best use of their resources. Silver Planet can assess their individual situation and problem-solve specific issues: everything from whether your parent can stay at home or move; understanding Medicaid; supportive housing options; elder coaching; and tax advice. You can access our site for free and review all of the articles on the relevant topic yourself; and you can look for housing options or home-health care yourself; or, tired of surfing the web for the right information, you can make an appointment with a Silver Advisor.
“The expert can explain the differences between the types of communities, point you to additional reading materials on the choices, and suggest how each type might fit in — or not — with your needs,” Klein adds.
It’s never too early to begin think about senior housing decisions, and a visit to Silver Planet’s web site can be an information-rich place to start.
“Be active and plan ahead,” Klein says. “For example, Karen Braitmayer writes about universal design and making your home accessible. Look into financial options and resources so that you can age in place.
“Silver Planet empowers boomers and seniors to make informed decisions about aging in place and housing options,” Klein add. “Silver Planet’s team provides live professional Silver Advisors, the latest information on scams, housing, financial planning, caregiving, spirituality, elder law, health, and new tech tools for staying at home, thus providing the information you need to make aging with choice a reality.”
