Caregivers live the mantra, “It takes a village” and the creation of partnerships be it in their local communities or their online communities is something we understand here at Halo. We are thrilled to welcome caring.com and silverplanet.com to our network of affiliates and look forward to long relationships with them both.

Known across the planet for their online resources, webinars, phone consultants, blogs and senior scam alerts, Silver Planet has emerged as a vital resource for boomers looking to help their parents remain safe, informed and independent.  Their team of Silver Advisors assess concerns, suggest plans of action, help prioritize next steps, and furnish personalized written plans and recommendations based on individualized needs.

As independent, professional geriatric care managers, Silver Advisors problem-solve and provide crucial and up to date information for boomers who are struggling with the ever-changing needs of their parents.  Advanced technology in fall detection is one piece that the advisors have turned their attention toward. The myHalo system has been selected as the featured product recommended to users by Silver Advisors.

Anyone who has ever taken on the responsibility of caring for a loved one desires information that will be helpful and accurate, and the guidance and tools to have less worry. Caring.com attends to a community of more than 40 million caregivers offering a breadth of knowledge that few other sites have available.  Thousands of articles, dozens of active blogs and support groups, and a directory of local caregiving services make the site a virtual thoroughfare for seniors and caregivers. Their staff members have all had caregiving experience along with professional expertise in product development, technology, multi-media management, and marketing thus creating the foundation for one of the most comprehensive websites on caring.

Those of us who are in the business of helping seniors and their caregivers navigate through the challenges of aging by using advanced technology understand the importance of good partnerships.  The partnerships with these websites is a natural fit for us at Halo because as we move forward promoting our advanced fall technology these sites are helping us better meet the needs of seniors and their caregivers.
