While we will talk about the business of running Hearts, Homes, Hands and providing in-home, non-medical elder care once we start accepting clients, that’s not the only purpose of [the company] blog. We want to share things we learn about the aging process and how to help live your life to the fullest as you age. And unlike other businesses, we hope to help you never become one of our clients.

So here is a look at some other blogs:
