About Us

This site was created from our personal experience with nursing home, assisted living, home health care and long term care as our parents and friends became patients and residents. We are not health care professionals. Nor are we experts on aging. We are simply a family who has "been there and done that" with parents, aunts and uncles.

We are researchers, reviewers, editors and deciders with eleven years experience. Our directories and guides are assembled from public data supplied by governmental health and aging departments on both the federal and state level.

Our business name is Dibbern & Dibbern, Ltd. We have been web site professionals since 1995.

We would love to hear from you. You can contact us at Contact us

Our privacy statement is very simple.
