RetireLife is a comprehensive online eldercare resource providing information about a broad variety of eldercare businesses and aging support services. We offer information, ratings and reviews of businesses and services. In addition, we provide articles and tools to help people managing a loved one's care.
About Us
RetireLife was founded in 2009 based on our personal caregiving experiences, and recognizing the need for a comprehensive online resource for families.
We are the nation's largest online resource for aging services, with listings for over 194,000 providers - which means wherever you are looking for care or services you can find it all in one place! We are a free site for you to find providers, learn about your options, and communicate with other caregivers through commenting on our blog.
Our goal at RetireLife is to make sure you can find information about anything your loved one needs quickly and easily.
Meet Bob and Veronica
Bob and Veronica are the inspiration for RetireLife. Our founder, Megan Shea, has been involved in their care for nearly four years. Throughout this process, Megan and her family discovered how challenging it was to determine what options were available at the different stages and needs of the aging process, as well as how difficult it was to identify the providers who offered the best solution. Through building tools her own family could use in their planning process, the idea for RetireLife was born. Bob and Veronica are happy, healthy, and very proud of their granddaughter!
