About.com, one of the largest sites on the Internet, helps nearly 90 million people each month discover, learn about, and be inspired by topics ranging from parenting and cooking to travel and healthcare. Ranked high in the About.com family of websites, the Assisted Living section provides consumers with the information they need to choose the right services for their loved one. It also includes resources for providers and employment in aging services.

“Educating seniors and their families on the need for advanced planning is something I feel is extremely important,” said Mr. Enea, past chair of the New York State Bar Association’s Elder Law Section. “My clients frequently come to me when they or their loved ones are on the verge of losing everything – which can, in many cases, amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets.”
