How we verify information
Caregivers make real decisions with the information they find online. That's why verifiability is the core design principle of this site — not an afterthought.
- 1
A whitelist of trusted sources
News and citations come only from established health and aging organizations — the National Institute on Aging, CDC, Family Caregiver Alliance, AARP, the Alzheimer's Association, Medicare.gov, and peer-reviewed research indexed on PubMed. Content from outside the whitelist doesn't enter the pipeline.
- 2
Every claim carries a citation
Our topic guides cite their sources inline — the small numbered links throughout each article — and list them in full at the bottom. If we can't trace a claim to a source, we don't publish it.
- 3
AI-assisted curation, human control
New items from trusted feeds are summarized automatically, with the original article always linked. Summaries from top-tier sources can publish automatically; everything else waits for a human editor's approval before it appears on the site.
- 4
Links are re-checked
The pipeline periodically re-verifies that cited links still resolve. Broken sources are flagged for review so the site doesn't quietly accumulate dead citations.
- 5
Dated and reviewed
Every guide shows when it was last reviewed. Older material from the original 2015 site is preserved where it holds up and updated where the evidence has moved on.
