Startups
We are all aware that America faces a crises due to the aging of our population. We have spent the last decade arguing about health care. Medicare reform, Obama-care, etc. touch on a small part. Often overlooked is the issue of long term care.
The answer cannot be to simply build more nursing homes. They are expensive and often fail to provide the transparent care that we demand.
Room2care.com is the innovative leader in a new way to approach long term care, Shared Senior Living. Many senior do not need "care" as much as supervision. By connecting people with space in their homes and time on their hands with seniors who need that care, we can provide, accountable, affordable senior care.
