Editorial Policy
SeniorSite is an independent resource for older adults and the families who help them make decisions about care, health, benefits, and daily life. This page explains who writes our articles, how we review them, and the standards we hold every piece to.
Who writes our content
Our guides are produced by the SeniorSite editorial team. We research each topic using primary and authoritative sources, then write in plain language for older adults and the families helping them make decisions. Articles carry the SeniorSite Editorial byline, and the team is accountable for everything we publish.
How we review articles
Before a guide goes live, we check it against its sources and work to keep figures, prices, and program rules current, revisiting and updating pieces as those details change. We take particular care with health, Medicare, benefits, and money topics, where accuracy matters most, and we correct errors promptly when they are flagged.
How we source information
For topics involving benefits, health, and money, we rely on primary and authoritative sources, including the Social Security Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicare.gov, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Federal Trade Commission, and established nonprofit and academic organizations. On those guides we include a Sources section that links out to the references we used, so you can check the figures yourself. Where a figure is an estimate or a projection rather than an official number, we say so.
Independence
Our editorial content is independent. We do not accept payment to place a business, product, or community favorably in an article, and advertising or partnerships never influence our recommendations or reviews.
Accuracy and corrections
We work to keep articles accurate and up to date, and we revise them as programs, prices, and rules change. If you spot something that looks wrong, email contact@seniorsite.org and a person will review it. This site provides general information and is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, or financial advice.
