“If you’ve seen one parent project, you’ve seen one parent project”…which is to say, that sometimes the ear and guidance of an expert can help us find, and make, that first step.

After collecting some basic information about your project, a gerontologist can help you clarify important tasks to focus on first.  They can help simplify communication with stakeholders and learning. Finally, they can recommend verified senior businesses you may need to support your project, providing the right business at the right time.

Find local services…

Parent Projects™ knows that trying to research local service providers who understand the challenges of helping older Americans and their caretaking can trust is a daunting, time consuming task.

We want to make it easier for caregivers to connect with professionals in your area who are “age-friendly” and commit a portion of their business to the unique needs of aging families. We’ve done the research for you and compiled top providers in your area, grouped by location and service category.
