"Our intent is to provide a reliable one-stop caregiver resource", commented the firm's president Bill Gillis. "Our concern is to reduce the numbers associated with caregiving such as the amount of time wasted looking for information and money spent unnecessarily. We do this by placing the information unique to their parents at the caregiver's fingertips and directing them to sources of free services and out-of-pocket reimbursements".
Gillis also highlighted Parent Care's emphasis on reducing caregivers' stress levels. "Numerous illnesses and ailments result the stress induced by caregiving. One recent study even noted that chronic stress endured by caregivers can significantly reduce their life spans. If we can help lower subscribers' stress as they successfully assist their parents, we will have accomplished out goal!"
