Book Cover: Disrupt Aging

Our older population is aging and times are different. It is time to disrupt aging and make a positive difference, says AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins. Today's seniors want to change the rules, enjoy the benefits of new technology, and live a healthy and engaged older age. Her timely new book, Disrupt Aging is available through AARP, online book services, book stores, and your local public library. It is sure to change your conversation about aging, which is Jo Ann's goal! After you read it, be sure to book mark and share with family and friends. Include an invitation to talk about specific issues raised. It should result in thought-provoking discussions in book clubs and at family gatherings. Jenkins suggests ways to get the most out of the later years of life. Chapters include: designing your life, controlling your health, choosing where to live, financing your future, using your experience, changing the rules, and a new vision for living and aging in America. Each chapter includes a set of "take stock" and "take action" steps worth exploring. The book is chocked full of issues worthy of discussion. CareLinx is proud and thrilled to be featured in the chapter on "Take Control of Your Health." Our company is included on pages 98-99. CareLinx is described as a Match.com for families and caregivers. Here is an excerpt:

CareLinx does more than connect caregivers with people needing care; it also helps families and caregivers manage all the administrative tasks of their caregiving needs, provides each client with a dedicated care advisor, and provides each client with the capability to monitor the caregiver's activities through tablet and smartphone applications....

We understand the challenges families face. That’s why we built an easy and cost effective online solution for families to easily find and manage home care for their loved ones.

We are proud to be "disrupting" the traditional caregiving model and helping to positively shape professional caregiving as a career.
