Senior care is a high-stakes decision. Here is how we research our guides, who stands behind them, and how we stay free for the families we serve.
My Senior Care Advisors is an independent senior care advisory and directory. We help families understand and compare their options — assisted living, memory care, in-home care, independent living, and more — and we connect them with vetted communities and providers. Our guidance to families is always free.
Our articles and local guides are produced by the My Senior Care Advisors Editorial Team — writers working alongside experienced senior care advisors who spend their days helping families navigate these exact decisions. We write as a team rather than under a single byline because our content reflects the combined knowledge of our advisors, our research, and the thousands of family conversations behind it.
We build our guides on primary, authoritative sources, including:
Senior care costs, Medicaid rules, and veterans benefits change over time. We review our guides for accuracy, date them, and update them as programs and prices shift. When we cite a cost figure, we present it as a realistic range or typical amount — not a quote — and we encourage families to verify current specifics with the relevant agency or community before making a decision.
Families never pay us for guidance. We are supported by optional paid directory listings, partnerships with providers, and our own educational resources. To protect your trust: paid placement never buys a better review or a recommendation. A community appearing in our directory is not an endorsement, and our editorial guidance is kept independent of who does or does not advertise with us.
Our content is for general information and education. It is not medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for guidance from a licensed professional or the relevant government agency. Always confirm eligibility, costs, and care decisions with the appropriate provider, agency, or advisor for your specific situation.
If you spot something that needs updating, we want to know. Reach us through our contact page and we will review it. Accuracy matters to us, because families are making some of the most important decisions of their lives based on what they read here.
