Connecting researchers with older adults and the people who care for them — with the sensitivity, expertise, and community reach these audiences deserve.
Recruiting Older Adults and the People Who Care for Them
Recruiting seniors and caregivers requires more than a screener and a panel. It requires genuine understanding of the audiences you're trying to reach. Our team designs every recruitment effort around the realities of aging and caregiving — including health conditions, daily routines, technology comfort, mobility, and emotional load.
We know that an older adult managing a chronic condition, or an adult daughter balancing a full-time job with caring for a parent, faces real logistical and emotional barriers to research participation. Every step of our process is built to remove those barriers, not add to them.
The result: participants who are well-matched to your criteria, thoroughly prepared, and genuinely comfortable — giving you the quality data your research depends on.
Why Standard Recruiting Falls Short
Online-only panels miss adults with limited tech access
Impersonal outreach erodes trust and response rates
Who We Recruit
We specialize in reaching two deeply interconnected audiences — older adults across the full spectrum of life stage and need, and the family members and caregivers who support them.
Seniors Across Life Stages
Independent at home — active, engaged, and community-connected
Receiving home care — navigating health services and daily assistance
Living with chronic conditions — diabetes, heart disease, mobility challenges, and more
In senior living communities — independent living, assisted living, and memory care settings
Family Caregivers
Adult children — often balancing full-time careers and long-distance caregiving
Spouses and partners — providing daily hands-on care for a loved one
Other unpaid caregivers — siblings, close friends, and extended family stepping in
Both primary and secondary caregivers — capturing the full support network
Our Approach
A Community-First Approach to Outreach
We don't rely solely on online panels. Our recruitment strategy prioritizes trusted community channels and multi-modal contact to reach older adults and caregivers where they already are — in their neighborhoods, their care networks, and their daily routines.
Community-Based Outreach
We partner with local organizations, care providers, senior centers, faith communities, and established networks that already serve older adults and caregivers. This ground-up approach builds credibility, trust, and access that no panel database can replicate. Participants recruited through community channels arrive already oriented to the research context — more engaged, more candid, and better matched.
Phone-First, Multi-Channel Contact
We lead with a phone-first contact strategy and supplement with mail, email, and direct personal outreach — meeting participants at whatever channel they use and trust. All invitations and reminders are written in clear, plain language, free of jargon, and accessible to participants at every level of technology confidence. No participant is lost simply because they prefer a phone call to an inbox.
Flexible Study Formats
We accommodate phone, in-person, and virtual participation — and we build scheduling around real life. That means working around medical appointments, caregiving shifts, transportation needs, and energy levels. When the study format fits the participant's world, show rates go up and data quality follows. No qualified participant should be screened out by logistics alone.
