We built this because
we needed it ourselves.
The story behind seniorhelp.care, and why it exists.
In 2023, my father-in-law was diagnosed with vascular dementia. One day he was the person who remembered everyone's birthday. The next, he was getting lost walking home from the corner store.
My wife and I spent weeks trying to figure out what to do. Night after night at the kitchen table, laptops open, calling places that never called back, visiting facilities that looked nothing like their websites.
The hardest part wasn't a lack of options. It was a lack of clarity. Good places existed. We just couldn't compare them in a way that made us feel confident about the decision.
I'm a software engineer, so I started pulling together the data: government registries, licensing databases, inspection reports, and quality ratings, all in one place that families could actually use. That side project became this company.
Directory coverage and verification status vary by country, provider type, and data field. Check each listing’s source details and confirm current information directly with the provider.
We're a small team that got into this because someone we love got sick. We believe families deserve better tools during one of the hardest chapters of their lives, whether they're in Chicago, Santiago, or Seoul.
How we verify listings
Who operates families.care
Luis Diaz Sendel — Founder & software engineer
Luis built families.care after his family struggled to compare care options. He leads the product and data platform; he does not provide medical, legal, or financial advice.
What verification means
- Listing details may come from public government registries, licensing and regulatory records, provider-submitted claim updates, and family reviews. The available evidence varies by country and field.
- A provider claim is not treated as verified solely because it was submitted. We review supporting records before changing a verification status.
- Family reviews are moderated for spam, duplicates, and policy violations. They are family experiences, not clinical assessments or editorial ratings.
What we do not independently verify
- We do not inspect every facility or guarantee real-time availability, staffing, prices, insurance acceptance, or quality of care.
- Always confirm current licensing, services, costs, and fit directly with the provider and the relevant local authority.
Corrections and updates
Families, providers, and public agencies can report an inaccurate listing through provider support. We review evidence, record the update date, and correct or remove information that cannot be supported.
Families can search and contact providers for free. Some providers may pay for additional visibility; commercial participation does not change our verification standard or turn a provider claim into a verified fact.
