Drugstore.com joins GenerationsUnite community of care

GenerationsUnite, the leading web-based communications platform for in-home care providers, caregivers and families of clients, has partnered with drugstore.com to give GenerationsUnite community members a direct link for purchasing home and health care supplies online.

Drugstore.com, an online retailer of prescriptions, household and home medical supplies, joins GenerationsUnite's community of care as the online retailer of choice for home and healthcare supplies.

“At GenerationsUnite, family care managers, care provider companies and caregivers can communicate through web-based forums and client notice boards.” states Alan Loveder, Vice-President for Business Development. “When a client is in need of household or home medical supplies, the caregiver can note this on the board and the family care manager can easily purchase the needed item at drugstore.com directly through the GenerationsUnite site.”

GenerationsUnite's partnership with drugstore.com will be especially valuable for those families who live a distance from the person for whom care is being provided.

“Over 41% of adult children of aging parents live at least two hours from the parent who is in need of care." continues Loveder. "When a loved one is in need of in-home care and you live out of state, how do you keep track of what household supplies they need? You aren't able to run to the closest store and pick up that bottle of laundry detergent and deliver it yourself. At the GenerationsUnite site, the person who is coming into the home daily to provide care can notify you what is needed and you can purchase it and have it delivered all with a click of the mouse.”

GenerationsUnite states that its mission is to create a community of care around an individual and to provide the family care manager with a resource of support and assistance.

Anyone involved in the multiple aspects of care giving can join the GenerationsUnite community. The GenerationsUnite site also provides job search resources to in-home care givers as well as search features for families and caregivers looking for trusted businesses and care providers to serve their loved ones and clients.
