Our Commitment
Senior services are varied and diversified and are often not easy for families to find. Those private sector individuals or companies that provide senior services such as attorneys, financial advisors, home care providers, hospice and senior care communities may have a network for referring services to each other, but few networks exist for referring their services directly to the public. As a general rule, the senior services market is not large enough to justify providers buying expensive media promotion such as newspaper ads, direct marketing or television. It is also difficult for these providers to establish an online presence with a website as there is so much competition from millions of websites and only a few will rise to the top on an Internet search. As a result, families or others seeking help for an aging senior have a difficult time finding that help.
A common practice among care managers, home care providers, legal and financial advisors, end-of-life planners, real estate and downsizing experts and so on is to collaborate with each other and provide a one-stop shop for solutions to critical aging issues.
That is the purpose of our elder planning Council. Our goal is to provide a free and no-obligation community service by educating the public and arranging free consultations with our members or with members of our extended networking group.
Our primary objective is to create well rounded solutions for people seeking us out. We do this through an initial assessment to uncover all the aging issues challenging aging seniors. Typically we work with the children or other supporters of aging seniors, but we can also work with the aging seniors themselves. Once we have completed this assessment, then we can recommend the services of members of our group or other providers in our extended network or government services.

At Portland Elder Care Council (PECC), we understand that navigating the landscape of senior services can be overwhelming for families. With a wide array of options available—from attorneys and financial advisors to home care providers and hospice services—finding the right support can feel daunting. While many professionals in the senior services sector have established referral networks, few can connect directly with the public meaningfully.
The senior services market often lacks the scale to justify costly advertising methods like newspaper ads or television promotions. Additionally, the sheer volume of online content makes it challenging for individual providers to stand out, leaving families struggling to locate the help they need for their aging loved ones.
That’s where our Elder Planning Council comes in. Our mission is to create a free, no-obligation community service that educates the public and facilitates access to essential resources. We aim to provide a one-stop shop for solutions to critical aging issues by fostering collaboration among care managers, home care providers, legal and financial advisors, end-of-life planners, and real estate experts.
Our primary objective is to develop comprehensive solutions tailored to the needs of those who seek our assistance. We begin with an initial assessment to identify aging seniors' specific challenges. While we often work with family members or caregivers, we are equally committed to supporting seniors directly. After completing our assessment, we can recommend the most suitable services from our network of professionals or connect clients with other trusted providers and government resources.
At PECC, we are dedicated to ensuring that every senior and their family has access to the guidance and support they need. Our commitment is to empower you with the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed decisions about care planning, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for seniors and their loved ones. Together, we can navigate the complexities of aging with confidence and compassion.
