The ElderCare Library is an ever-growing collection of articles and resources written by leading health-care and geriatric professionals covering issues including senior care, health & wellness, finance & legal matters, careseeker tips, and caregiver tips. "We recognize that many of our careseeker members often need to find a care solution for their loved one on extremely short notice," states David Kennedy, the site's founder. "As a result, they don't have time to do extensive research on their caregiving needs. With our ElderCare Library, that information is centrally located and easily accessible, allowing the family to quickly get up to speed on issues that are relevant to them - our careseekers have found it very helpful." In addition to the ElderCare Library, TheCaringSpace has also launched the Care Community, a place where caregivers and careseekers can interact with each other and have their questions answered by industry professionals. The Care Community includes an expert's blog, monthly polls, an "ask the experts" feature, and community forums. These features provide customized, cutting-edge caregiving information to TheCaringSpace's community.

TheCaringSpace.com was launched in June 2008 with the mission of providing a resource to connect compassionate caregivers to families and individuals in need of assistance and health services in their home. Since launching, TheCaringSpace has rapidly grown to over 30,000 members. To celebrate the launch of the ElderCare Library and Care Community, membership fees are being waived until August 1, 2009.
