Carepilot.com - Find home health care information and advice

If you need to learn about home health care options, you can educate yourself on Carepilot.com, a site that provides information and user networking on the subject of home health agencies and services. Once you´ve registered for free, you can search agencies, ask questions to other users, or meet users who can provide you with advice about specific issues. You can browse all the past questions-and-answers by topic, and then within a topic are all the posts listed in order by date. However, some of the questions are not yet answered, and the site owner has asked people to be patient while the site is adding information related to these topics. For finding home health services, you can perform an advanced search. If you don´t know yet what kind of care you need to search for, CarePilot´s wizard will guide you through some questions that narrow down your needs.

“CarePilot is the Internet"s leading source of information on local home health agencies and services. Helping select the right care option for an aging relative or friend is a daunting task and a major decision. With one out of every two people in the United States 65 and older expected to ultimately need long-term care, CarePilot enables individuals to search for, compare, and select from more than 8,000 Medicare-certified home health care providers in communities throughout the U.S.

The site is well-organized and will appeal to people who are accustomed to using the internet as a primary source of information. The over 8,000 home health agencies are described in detail so that the site serves as a collection of listings. Having all of this information in one place is bound to get some heavy user registration and traffic on the site.

How far are people going to trust a site that is commercially-run for giving medical suggestions and referrals?
