Senior placement advisors are completely free for families. They are paid a referral fee by the senior living community only when a resident moves in, meaning expert guidance costs you nothing out of pocket.

A senior placement advisor helps families assess care needs, identify suitable assisted living or memory care communities, schedule tours, and navigate pricing and paperwork — acting as your personal advocate throughout the entire process.

The easiest way is to search our free directory at SeniorAdvisorList.com by city, state, or zip code. You can browse profiles, read about each advisor's background, and connect directly with whoever feels right for your family.

Most families work with a senior placement advisor for 1-4 weeks before finding the right community, though urgent placements can often be arranged within days. Your advisor will work at whatever pace suits your situation.

The terms are often used interchangeably. A senior placement advisor typically focuses on helping families find and move into the right senior living community. A senior care advisor may also provide broader guidance on in-home care, medical resources, and care planning. Both services are free for families.
