At HearthandHub, our mission is to help older adults and caregivers find clear, trustworthy guidance on independent‑living products, home safety tools, and senior‑friendly technology. We take this responsibility seriously — and that includes being transparent about how we fund the work we do.
How HearthandHub Makes Money
Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link to a product or service and choose to make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you.
These commissions help support the running of Hearth & Hub, including:
• Researching and testing senior‑friendly products
• Writing clear, accessible guides
• Maintaining the website
• Creating new resources for older adults and caregivers
We never charge readers for access to our content.
Our Commitment to You
We only recommend products that:
• Are genuinely helpful for older adults and caregivers
• Meet our standards for accessibility, ease of use, and safety
• Offer good value and reliability
• We would feel comfortable recommending to our own families
Affiliate partnerships never influence our reviews, rankings, or recommendations. If a product doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t include it — even if it has an affiliate programme.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on HearthandHub:
1. You are taken directly to the retailer’s website
2. If you make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission
3. You pay the same price you would have paid anyway
This helps keep HearthandHub free to use, without intrusive ads or paywalls.
Product Testing & Research
Where possible, we:
• Test products ourselves
• Compare multiple brands
• Review user feedback from older adults and caregivers
• Evaluate accessibility features
• Assess long‑term reliability
If we haven’t personally tested a product, we rely on reputable data, verified reviews, and expert insight.
We always make it clear when a recommendation is based on hands‑on testing versus research.
Your Trust Matters
HearthandHub exists to support older adults and the people who care for them. We will always:
• Put clarity and safety first
• Disclose affiliate relationships openly
• Update recommendations as products change
• Remove products that no longer meet our standards
If you ever have questions about a recommendation or want help choosing a product, we’re here to help.
