WINCHESTER, Calif., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Nowadays, caring for
elderly family members is typically very costly and often challenging.
Thankfully, some tools to ease the process are free and uncomplicated,
specifically the online services now being provided by FindCareHomes.com
(http://www.findcarehomes.com). The website's new interactive services and
features provide families a way to search for California's nearly 8,000
licensed homes, or State Licensed Residential Care Facilities (SLRCF). The
site also offers a complimentary placement service.

    "While there are other companies that provide placement services, we do
it for free and in a state-of-the-art fashion," says Marvin Gabut,
co-founder of FindCareHomes.com. "We've developed online tools, such as our
interactive map, which allows the site user to identify homes they would
like us to research. This feature really helps in the home-care planning
stages, and it empowers our customers because they're personally involved
in the process of finding a licensed facility. We're really excited to
offer this user-friendly technology and the peace of mind it affords."

    Using the site's new search feature is easy. Click on the "Search
Homes" link located on the homepage, and once that new page appears, enter
the zip code and city of choice. Up pops a map, displaying the home-care
options in both traditional and satellite views. A red marker indicates the
available homes. Click on a marker for details about that particular
facility, a photo, an information request link and even nearby
alternatives.

    "All the basic, initial research needed can be completed with a few
clicks of a button," Gabut says. "We've made a concerted effort to keep the
site clutter-free - and this interactive tool user-friendly - because we
want people to feel comfortable with our services. Making home-care
decisions for elderly family members can be stressful and overwhelming. The
process we offer is anything but that."

    In addition to the interactive map, the website outlines how to
subscribe to FindCareHomes.com's services. It also lists the company's
contact information, in the event that a site user needs to call or e-mail
a live person directly. Information about required home-care forms and
steps that must be taken in the home-care registration process are included
as well.
