BETHESDA, MD, AND SEATTLE, WA –
SeniorChecked, a national network that connects seniors, their families, and caregivers with verified, trusted local service providers, and
Silver Planet®, a company that helps boomers guide their parents to age in place by providing advisory services and products related to aging at home, have announced a distribution, content, and referral partnership. The partnership includes the following:
- SeniorChecked's national directory of verified service providers may be distributed to and used by Silver Planet's Silver Advisor phone consultants when advising clients who are looking to identify trusted local businesses in their area.
- From its large library, Silver Planet will distribute selected boomer- and senior-focused articles, blog posts, and scam alerts to SeniorChecked, further positioning SeniorChecked as a resource for comprehensive information for seniors and their families when looking for trusted information on aging in place and caregiving issues.
- Silver Planet will require each of its Silver Advisor consultants and its current network of service provider partners to go through SeniorChecked's extensive screening process to ensure they meet SeniorChecked's high standards for verification.
- SeniorChecked will refer customers who are looking for phone consultation on aging in place and caregiving issues directly to Silver Planet's Silver Advisors.
