Editorial Standards & Trust

How we vet facilities, fact-check pricing, and maintain editorial independence.

Quick answer: Editorial Standards & Trust
HomeEditorial Standards & Trust

Tampa Senior Advisor publishes guidance that families rely on during stressful, high-stakes decisions. We hold our content to clear standards so you can trust it.

How we source

Our facility data comes from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and FloridaHealthFinder, the state's official licensing system. Cost ranges reflect current Tampa Bay market data and are reviewed regularly. Program details (Medicaid, VA, DOEA) are drawn from official state and federal sources.

How we stay accurate

We date our cost figures, verify licenses before recommending any provider, and update pages as programs and prices change. We distinguish clearly between factual information and our advisory opinion.

Our independence

We're paid by communities only when a family moves in, but we recommend based on fit, disclose how we're paid, and tell families about quality options that don't compensate us. See how we get paid →

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.
