1. Our Roots & Philosophy
Launched as a family-oriented platform, Senior-Lives-Matter.info began with a simple belief: informed aging shouldn’t be complicated or cold. We recognized early on that the world of senior living—covering everything from retirement finance and housing to health and caregiving—is layered and personal.
Our founding vision: to build a caring, comprehensible, and trustworthy resource, run not by faceless corporations, but by people who deeply care about older adults and their families.
2. Why We Exist: Our “Why”
Our core purpose is to empower seniors and caregivers to age gracefully and confidently. That means offering:
- Clear explanations of complicated topics—like Medicare, assisted living, or reverse mortgages
- Comprehensive directories of senior housing and care options
- Hands-on guidance in areas like safety, technology, caregiving, and retirement finance
These aren’t just articles—they’re tools crafted by experts dedicated to helping you live with dignity, ease, and hope.
3. The People Behind the Resources
Our content is crafted by real people with real expertise—no AI or faceless outsourcing here. Meet our editorial and expert team, including:
- Jeff Hoyt, Editor in Chief

- Dr. Jessica Harder, MD, Neuropsychiatrist
- Sharon Boyd, RDH, Dental Health Specialist
Together, these professionals bring over 100 years of collective insight into aging, caregiving, safety, and wellness.
4. How We Work: Research & Editorial Standards
We take content quality seriously:
- Multi-layer review—Every piece is reviewed by a writer, subject-matter expert, and experienced editor.
- Real-world testing—Products and services are evaluated by seniors themselves to assess usability and relevance.
- Transparency about funding—We receive commissions from partners, which never influence pricing or recommendations.
- Human-first writing—Nothing is generated by bots or AI—our content is crafted from lived experience and expert rigor.
