How can I afford a Care Advisor?

Anyone can afford an Assisted Living Locator Care Advisor. That’s because we are paid only when we help you make a decision about your senior’s living location and we are paid by the location you choose. And because we only receive payment when you’re paying the Care Community directly, we’ll also put you in touch with your state’s social service network to make sure that you receive the proper state support in the event that you are unable to pay for senior care and housing yourself.

What can a Care Advisor help me with?

An Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisor specializes in knowing your senior housing and in home care options, but via their referral network they can connect you with state resources in the event that you need to consider state resources to finance and secure senior housing, as well as a wide variety of specialists who focus on some aspect of the senior services industry- Eldercare Attorneys, Financial Specialists, Real Estate Agents, Downsizing Specialists, Home Health Experts, and just about any other senior service need you can think of.

How are Care Advisors trained?

Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisors are vetted for the right set of skills before they ever even buy a franchise. Once they do, we provide comprehensive initial training and a 13 week “in community” onboarding process. We ask all Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisors to become Certified Senior Advisors, a nationwide accreditation program that provides additional industry specific knowledge. Care Advisors also participate in continuing education provided by us and provided by local senior oriented industry associations to ensure that they understand the latest tools, techniques and industry rules and regulations to help you navigate the senior experience.

What does a Care Advisor do?

An Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisor spends time at each of the communities and homes in your local area. They understand how well the community is performing against state standards and they understand what the community is good at- in short, they understand what isn’t in the community’s glossy brochure. An Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisor networks to ensure that they have a broad array of qualified resource team members that they can call on to help deal with challenges beyond senior housing and care, which is their own area of expertise. And Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisors spend time with families and seniors. They can’t help if they don’t know and understand you and your family. Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisors have a structured way to identify important needs that you and your senior have, which they then use to match you to the best community choices or the best members of their resource network that can meet your needs.

Who is Assisted Living Locators®?

A franchise business based in Arizona, with local owners and operators across the US. Our Care Advisors bring problem solving skills and compassion to your local senior community, and we supply the training, processes and industry knowledge they need to provide you with the help you want.

When should I contact an Assisted Living Locators® Care Advisor?

Use us to understand your independent living options if your senior wants more time for leisure pursuits after 55.

About Detroit, MI

Cost of Living

Your Detroit senior living placement advisor will share that evaluating the cost of living as one factor when making senior living decisions is important. In Detroit, the average monthly cost of assisted living is $4,215, just under the national average of $4,300 per month. Factors that can impact the cost of living — especially as it relates to senior living — include your care needs, how many people will be living in the unit or apartment, the size of the apartment, and more.

Local Hospitals and Medical Care

Your Detroit senior living placement advisor will begin with a thorough assessment of your needs and wants. It’s important to share your needs outside of senior living, as well, such as healthcare preferences or complex medical needs that require specialty care.

Detroit is home to several hospitals and healthcare systems. The highest-ranking hospitals in Detroit are:
- University of Michigan Health – Ann Arbor, ranked #1 by U.S. News & World Report and Nationally Ranked in 13 specialties

The average July high is around 83 degrees and the average January low is around 18 degrees, making Detroit a great place to retire for those who love the experience of defined seasons and freshly fallen snow. Your Detroit senior living care advisor will likely share that senior living communities typically plan indoor activities during winter months to ensure enrichment year-round.
Transportation

It’s important to visit with your Detroit senior living advisor, who will likely share that local transportation is included in the cost of most or all senior living facilities in the area.
