FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do senior living referral services work?
We operate like a real estate agent for senior living. Our services, including assessments, tours, and guidance, are 100% free for families. We are compensated by the senior living community only if you decide to move in. This allows us to offer unbiased, expert support without any cost to you.
What’s the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted Living is for seniors who want independence but need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medication. Nursing Homes (Skilled Nursing) provide 24/7 intensive medical care and rehabilitation. We help you determine which level of care is medically and financially appropriate.
Can CareMATRIX help if we’re not sure what we need?
Yes! You don’t need to have all the answers—that is our job. Our free assessment clarifies exactly what level of care fits your loved one, even if the answer is staying at home with extra help. We provide honest guidance, not just a push toward a facility.
