Editorial Policy

At SeniorCanvas, we believe that accurate, trustworthy information can make a real difference when you're caring for aging parents or preparing for your own retirement. Our mission is to publish expert-backed, transparent content that helps you navigate senior living, home safety, aging-in-place upgrades, and caregiving decisions with clarity and confidence.

How We Create Content

Every article we publish follows a structured editorial process:

  • ✅ Evidence-Based Research: We use government data, peer-reviewed studies, and credible aging and healthcare organizations.
  • ✅ Expert Input: Content is reviewed by professionals in fields like gerontology, healthcare, home safety, and senior care planning.
  • ✅ Plain Language: We write in simple, honest terms without confusing jargon or hype.
  • ✅ Source Transparency: We cite our sources and clearly disclose affiliate relationships when applicable.

About Our Experts

SeniorCanvas content is developed and reviewed by contributors with experience in:

  • Aging-in-place planning
  • Geriatric healthcare
  • Occupational therapy
  • Home accessibility solutions
  • Financial and legal planning for caregivers

We prioritize practical knowledge and trusted expertise over marketing trends.

Review and Update Process

Best practices change — and so do we. Our editorial team:

  • Tracks changes in safety standards, healthcare guidelines, and product regulations
  • Updates content based on new data or product changes
  • Reviews articles regularly for accuracy and clarity
  • Lists the last updated date on each page

Corrections and Feedback

Notice something off? Tell us.

📩 Contact our editorial team to report errors, broken links, or out-of-date information.
We’ll correct it quickly and post a clear update note if needed.

Use of AI and Automation

We sometimes use AI tools to support:

  • Formatting and SEO updates
  • Outlining content or generating tables
  • Drafting internal summaries for editorial review

However, every piece of content is human-edited and fact-checked before it’s published. Technology supports our process — it never replaces editorial oversight.

Independence and Ethics

SeniorCanvas is an independent, privately-owned site. We do not accept sponsored posts or pay-for-placement content.

We may include affiliate links for senior-friendly products or services. These help support our work, but we only recommend items we've researched and consider genuinely helpful.

We will never let compensation influence our editorial judgment.
