Editorial Standards

This page explains how the articles on this site are made: who writes them, where the facts come from, how we use AI tools, and what to do if we get something wrong. We publish it because families deciding on care deserve to know how the information was produced.

How our articles are written

Our articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and finished by people. A nurse on the Eldercare Home Health team reviews every article before it goes live. Nothing on this site publishes automatically. The reviewer checks the facts, the sources, and whether the advice matches how care works in practice.

Where our facts come from

New articles link to the sources behind their facts and figures, and those sources are primary ones: Government of Ontario and Government of Canada publications, Ontario Health, and other official bodies. If we cannot verify a claim, we remove it before publishing.

Health and legal topics

Articles about health conditions, care decisions, or legal arrangements such as powers of attorney are general information, not medical or legal advice. They are written to help you prepare better questions for your doctor, lawyer, or care coordinator.

Corrections and updates

When we learn something is wrong or out of date, we correct the article. If you spot an error, tell us through our contact page and we will look at it promptly.
