We, as senior referral and placement specialists, serve a middle role. We stand between senior living and senior living providers and families that are in need of finding the right long-term care solution. So we provide a free guidance service to families. We're paid by a referral fee or commission structure with the senior living providers.
We match the care needs, the priorities that's identified in our intake assessment that we do with the family. And then we provide kind of a step-by-step hand-holding experience for families to actually, literally walk them through the various trap choices and options that they have when they're going about selecting a long-term care facility for their loved one.
There's a lot about senior living that most people don't know, or they don't know how to check to see how they're in standing with the state of Arizona and Department of Health Services. So we do a lot of background checks. We have a lot of inside information that families find helpful when they go to pick the right long-term care for their loved one.
