  • What to Look for in a Geriatric Care Manager

    May 11, 2018

    US News
    When older adults can no longer care for themselves, it’s usually up to their family members to take over the responsibility.

    March 8, 2018

    Consumer Reports

But digital advances can make a big difference to older adults, making it easier for them to maintain social contacts, monitor their health, and preserve their independence.
