Not sure how it all works?

We're here to help.

We've answered some of our

frequently asked questions below

FAQ #1:

"What is the average cost of senior living, and how are we going to pay for our loved one's care?"

Depending on the type of care, costs can range from $1,500 to $10,000 per month, with a national average range of $3,000 - $5,500 per month. The actual costs may be higher or lower than average, depending on the location of the senior community. Many families elect to use private pay or retirement funds for these costs, and some may qualify for Medicaid or other assistance programs.

One commonly overlooked way for families to afford care is through selling Mom or Dad's home. Our specialists can help you sell the home or property as-is (and quickly), so those funds can go toward monthly living expenses in the senior care community. We partner with furniture banks and charities across the nation to ensure valuable belongings that are no longer needed are dispersed to families in need.

Independent Living

Small apartment-like communities with various floor plans, equipped with a kitchenette, laundry facilities, gyms, calendar of events and excursions, chef-prepared meals and housekeeping, transportation, no nurse on staff.

Assisted Living


A residential community designed for seniors who need some help with activities of daily living (meals, personal care, and medication); but do not require full-time medical care. These types of residences are similar to an apartment, with medical staff on-site.

Memory Care


A specialized community supporting seniors with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. This is a secure environment with structured routines, specialized staff training, and activities tailored to enhance cognitive function and reduce confusion or agitation in residents.

Board & Care Residences


A small, home-like setting that provides personalized care for seniors. These homes house a small number of residents (often 4-10) and assist with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals. They provide a higher caregiver-to-resident ratio.

Resources for In-Home Care

We can provide resources for seniors wanting to receive in-home care. Typically, caregivers visit the home a few hours per day at minimum to provide meals, medication, and other care needs. Depending on level of care, this option may be more cost-effective as a first step.

FAQ #3

"I don't know what assets my family has available to afford care, or if there is a will or trust in place. Can you help with legal matters?"

While we are not trained in legal matters, we will connect you with the right professional to answer your questions! We have trusted elder care attorneys to invite into the conversation. These legal experts can help you navigate questions about assets, medical power of attorney, wills, trusts, and everything in between.

FAQ #4:

"I spoke with a Specialist from your team, and they mentioned their services are no-cost to the family. How are Specialists compensated?"

Great question! Our team works diligently and tirelessly to place you or your family member in a community that is right for your individual needs. Once the perfect community is secured, our Specialists are compensated by the Senior Living Community.

FAQ #5:

"How do I know when it's time for myself or a loved one to transition to a senior living community?"

  • Inability to maintain daily activities like showering, dressing, eating, laundry, grooming (also known as Activities of Daily Living or ADLs)

  • Inability to maintain the home: decline in cleanliness, burners still on after cooking, odd things in fridge or cupboard

  • Forgetting medications: finding expired or stockpiled medications in the home, or if they're simply forgetting to take their medications (or double-dosing because they forgot they already took it)

  • Change in personality: differences in mood, or loss of interest in things that were once fun

  • Changes in eating habits: lack of quality in meals, expired food in the pantry, empty shelves in fridge

  • Inability to manage finances: mail is piling up, bills are being neglected, receiving calls from collections

  • Increasing number of accidents: unexplained bruising or minor wounds, increase in reported falls or incidents

  • Decrease in confidence while driving: avoiding driving or driving less, dents and scratches in the car/garage door/mailbox

FAQ #6

"My parent needs placement but lives in another state. How can I be sure we're finding the right fit?"


Our team is committed to making sure the whole family is able to participate in supporting their loved one during this transition. We can meet families virtually, provide community tours via video chat, and connect you with Senior Living Professionals in any state to assist with downsizing, moving, and selling the home.

FAQ #7

"I'm just getting started on this journey with my parent. What can I expect with the progression of living and aging?"

Not everyone's story unfolds quite the same, however there are many similarities. Our trained Senior Transition Specialists are here to guide you and advise you with every step along the way. If level of care changes, we will help you navigate what is next for your family and loved one.
