It’s not the presidential election or the Kardashians. No, it’s not even the summer Olympics. If you want to know what most people are looking for online at any given time, health information is the single most searched topic. And, with record numbers of aging baby boomers retiring and an increasing number of older adults living with multiple chronic illnesses, it makes perfect sense.
Consider the typical home care decision maker: let’s call her Jane. Jane is a middle-aged wife and mother with a full time job and an elderly mother.

The Internet, of course.
