To move into assisted living, which offers personal care support along with meals, housekeeping, and activities, start by contacting facilities to check services, availability, and pricing. A doctor’s evaluation can help if there are concerns about mobility, memory, or complex care needs, but a referral isn’t usually required. Assisted living is primarily private pay or covered by long-term care insurance, so it’s important to compare based on staffing levels, services offered, and resident reviews. After sending messages and getting prequalified through our site, the next step is to schedule a facility tour.

Starting care at a nursing home often requires a doctor’s referral, especially if services like rehabilitation or 24/7 medical care will be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. Nursing homes vary widely in quality, so it’s critical to compare staffing levels, inspection results, therapy programs, and resident satisfaction. Our site helps you review detailed profiles, message facilities, and begin prequalification based on medical and financial eligibility. Once matched, the next step is usually a facility tour and care plan discussion.
