Why a fee instead of free
| What you get | “Free” referral service | The Desk |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays the advisor | The community you move into | You, only when the report is delivered |
| Which communities you see | Mostly the ones that pay a referral fee | The licensed communities that fit, including the ones that pay nobody |
| Prices | Usually by phone, rarely in writing | In writing, with the date and the name of who told us |
| Availability | Whatever the advisor last heard | Confirmed by phone, time-stamped |
| Inspection record | Not usually shown | In the report |
| What you hold at the end | A list of names and a tour schedule | A report you can hand to a sibling, a lawyer or a discharge planner |
Questions families ask
Why would I pay when A Place for Mom is free?
Because “free” is paid by the community your parent moves into, usually a fee on move-in. That is why the list you are shown leans toward communities that pay, and why the price is usually “call an advisor.” We are paid by you, so we show you the licensed communities that fit, including the ones that pay nobody. We confirm the opening and the price the same day, in writing, and you get a report you can hand to your sister, your lawyer or the discharge planner. You pay only when we deliver.
When am I charged?
Only when your report is delivered. You save a card at the start (no charge) so the clock can start. If we miss the deadline, you pay nothing.
When does the clock start?
When your card is saved. It runs in calendar hours, weekends included: 72 hours for Placement and Guided, 24 hours for Price Check. We text you the exact deadline at that moment.
Who makes the calls to the communities?
Our automated calling assistant. It says it is automated and that it is calling for a family. It asks every community it calls the same questions and writes down each answer with the time and the name of the person who gave it. A person on our team reviews every report before you get it.
