Welcome to the Care MATTERS ® ... Website !

Care MATTERS ® - The Resource Guide for Seniors, Caregivers & Professionals - is the most comprehensive publication of its kind in the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area, Northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan. It is kept and referred to time and again by many seniors, caregivers and professionals, as they look for products and services for themselves, their loved ones or clients.

Care MATTERS ® is distributed, free of charge, by advertisers as well as by organizations such as the Catholic Charities, United Way, Councils on Aging, the AARP Foundation, Area Agencies on Aging, public libraries, senior centers, hospitals, medical centers, churches and many other community service organizations and support groups. Professionals who care for and advise seniors receive copies to use in their daily practice.

An important feature of Care MATTERS ® is the more than 50 articles submitted by professionals, community leaders and senior specialists on topics of special interest to seniors and their families.

Care MATTERS ® has tremendous longevity. We still hear about advertisers getting leads from the first edition. Advertisers receive free copies and many have found Care MATTERS® to be an effective marketing tool to attach to their business cards or "Compliments of" stickers and pass along to clients, families, seniors, doctors, nurses, case managers, discharge planners, social workers or organizations and support groups with whom they may be working.

This website is designed to give you a glimpse of the guide's contents below, to allow you to order your own copy and for advertisers to find out about placing advertising.
