ParentYourParents.com launches as the first and only local, comprehensive elder care information source. ParentYourParents.com provides a wide range of information for adult children of aging parents and for seniors: from articles to service providers; from links to local, state and government web sites to information on Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Benefits and other government funded assistance programs; from the “Vital Information You Should Know” form to checklists to help in making informed decisions; and much more.

Las Vegas, NV (PRnine - August 20, 2008) - With nearly 302,000 retirees in Las Vegas and the median age of adults in Las Vegas being 50 years of age*, ParentYourParents.com is a much needed local resource for elder care and senior information in Southern Nevada.

Whether a person is currently a care giver for an aging parent or needs to start planning for an elder parent’s needs, ParentYourParents.com is a unique and valuable resource.

Users can start by taking a quick assessment to help determine the specific area of elder care need. Based on those results ParentYourParents.com will pull together all the pertinent information from the site onto one page.

An integral part of gathering information is having important and sometimes difficult discussions with aging parents or loved ones. The “Vital Information You Should Know” form is exclusive to ParentYourParents.com. This form is a non-threatening way to start having some of those discussions. This form is a comprehensive tool to document specific information about a loved one’s health and medical information, financial and legal information, as well as final wishes and advance directive information, and more.

Another way to access information on ParentYourParents.com is to go directly to the Providers page. The Providers page has listings of local service providers with access to additional information about their particular service or products as well as links to their web site.

The Resource Center is where articles, printable documents and checklists, government, state and local links, a glossary, and a senior calendar can be found. Also located in the Resource Center are conversation starters and tips to help users initiate those difficult discussions about finances, wills, powers of attorney, final wishes and advance directives with an aging parent or loved one.

There are also checklists available in the Resource Center to help make informed decisions when choosing an adult day care facility, assisted living facility, a hospice, or hiring a caregiver or physician. There is also information on how to assess an elder parent’s driving abilities, signs of elder abuse and neglect, and tips to make a love one’s home safe as he gets older and remains independent.

About ParentYourParents, LLC

The company was formed by three women who have been friends since high school. Like many others across the country, as they entered their 40’s they found themselves dealing with their aging parents’ health issues. They looked for a resource online but were unable to find a comprehensive web site with information to help guide them through this process. Believing they were not the only people faced with helping care for aging parents, and frustrated as they were unable to find the help they were looking for; they decided to do something about it. They developed and launched a comprehensive, interactive website to help people caring for their loved ones no matter what their financial situation, health condition or needs. A resource for people who are taking on a parental role with their aging parents, in essence, parenting their parents.
