FamilyCare Provider Network – Community Partner Program
If you are a professional who provides high quality services to seniors and their caregivers (usually, their adult children), we can help you improve your networking, support existing clients and attract new customers.
Background The National Caregivers Library is one of the largest information resources in the country for caregivers, seniors and the organizations that provide products, services or support to them. The web-based information of the library is available to those who need it, for free. Credibility Counts. Professionals and the media recognize The National Caregivers Library as one of the most extensive and consumer friendly caregiving sites on the web. Literally thousands of federal, state and local aging and caregiving experts, Area Agencies on Aging, disease support organizations, faith organizations and professionals link to us. Further, we have been nationally recognized by such media as:
Put our credibility and reach to work for you For over ten years, consumers and professionals have been coming to us to get credible caregiving information. Now, you can take advantage of our resources, knowledgebase and reach to get in front of more prospects and referral sources and to make an emotional connection with them so that they remember you and your specialized credentials. We have established a national network of qualified professionals and service providers who understand the value of “education marketing” and “cause marketing.” In addition to getting credit in their communities for providing a comprehensive information resource, Network members receive online and offline tools to increase their visibility, differentiate themselves from competitors, get more leads and referrals, and close more sales in the “seniors” market. Not only do Community Partners get a variety of proven community marketing tools – all customized to showcase their involvement and credentials, they have the option of having us set up a version of our nationally recognized website that has been co-branded with that partner’s photo or logo on every HTML page of our site.
As a member of the network you get all of the benefits of our online and offline marketing tools and our high rankings in online searches. Our program provides you with an easy-to-use, yet effective, marketing and community relations program. It is not an online lead generation program. You benefit from:
� Increased visibility - in your community and online
� Community marketing and community relations tools
� New networking opportunities
� Tools to help you build stronger relationships with consumers, professionals and referral sources
� Providing additional value to your key constituents (buyers, sellers, prospects, referral sources, family members, caregivers and the community)
� The collaborative nature of our community marketing strategy
While our program is suitable for large organizations, we recognize that the majority of elder-services are provided by small organizations (both, for-profit and not-for-profit) and individual, motivated, intelligent, professionals doing business in their local area. With that in mind, our program is affordable to individuals, small organizations and professional firms.

PROVEN TOOLS for COMMUNITY MARKETING / OUTREACH
Courtesy Cards Community Partners receive a supply of Courtesy Cards to make more people aware of the free resources at
the Caregivers Library and to identify you as the community leader who is making them available.
The size of a business card, these are great for keeping a supply with you to give to people when you know
(or overhear) that they are dealing with an eldercare or other caregiving issue. Simply hand them a Courtesy
Card to direct them to valuable resources – including info about you and your commitment to seniors.
These are perfect for situations where handing out a traditional card may be inappropriate or too
“pushy.” You will be comfortable handing these to friends, family, customers and prospects - even in the
most delicate situations. Also, our experience is that pharmacies, professional offices, faith organizations and
other high traffic locations are happy to display or distribute them for you because they see this for what it is -
a community service on your part, not a sales pitch. This is a perfect example of “Cause Marketing.”
