Responding to the growing number of people caring for an aging family member, the Caregiver's Resource Helpline™ of Houston empowers callers, 24 hours a day, with practical "how to" information, professional guidance and emotional reassurance.

In this Internet age, people go online to get eldercare information and resources for caregivers, which can become time-consuming, confusing and overwhelming. Recognizing that people caring for an aging family member want practical "how to" information quickly and with a creative appeal, the Caregiver's Resource Helpline™ of Houston easily meets this challenge through the simple use of a telephone.

"We're very excited about expanding and licensing use of the Caregiver's Resource Helpline™ of Houston," said John L. Webb, Jr., chief executive officer and founder of Caregiver's Resource, which already operates in Florida and Washington. Under the sponsorship of S. Gerber & Associates, a private consulting company comprised of a team of professional long-term care managers specializing in long-term health care management and planning, the Caregiver's Resource Helpline™ of Houston will reach thousands with much-needed help and information.

Sid Gerber noted, "This is a win-win opportunity for senior service providers and elder care businesses listing in the Helpline's Directory of Resources and Services and for the callers who need the help." Bobby English, owner of Optimum Personal Care says "listing my business with a 30 second promotional spot really helps to tell our story."

Through a third-party certification process, the Directory of Resources and Services distinguishes eldercare businesses and service providers from their competition, some of whom meet the standard of 90% or higher in customer satisfaction. Local hospitals, doctors, attorneys, financial planners and other eldercare-related businesses like home health agencies, medical supply companies etc. will be able to advertise in the Directory to help callers meet the challenges of eldercare.
