HomeAboutHow We Get Paid — Free for Families

Tampa Senior Advisor is free to families. Here's exactly how we're paid, so there are no surprises.

The model

When a family we've helped chooses to move into a community, that community pays us a referral fee. Families never pay us — not for the consultation, the tours, or the move support.

This is the standard senior-placement model, the same way Caring.com and A Place for Mom operate.

Why it doesn't bias us

We only earn anything if you actually choose a place and are satisfied enough to move in, so our incentive is to find a genuine fit — not to push the highest-paying option. We'll also tell you about good options that don't pay us.

How Tampa Senior Advisor can help

We're a free, local senior-care advisory service for Tampa Bay families. We don't charge you — communities pay us a referral fee only if you choose to move in. If any of this feels overwhelming, tell us what's going on and we'll point you to the right next step, whether or not it involves a paid placement.
