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.

Where are your Care Advisors located?

Everywhere. If we don’t have a Care Advisor yet in your local area, we’ll find you an affiliate advisor who can help. But every month we train more Care Advisors to meet the growing needs of seniors in every community across the US. You can find your local Care Advisor by using the tools on this website. And because we are nationwide, we can help you in your town or in towns all across the US.

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

Since Care Advisors understand the entire range of living options available to seniors, any family with a senior over 55 can benefit from their expertise. Use us to understand your independent living options if your senior wants more time for leisure pursuits after 55. Use us especially when you are concerned about the safety or health of your senior loved one. And it’s critically important that you reach out to us if your senior is in the hospital or rehabilitation facility so that we help you navigate the immediate next health care and housing steps that must be taken, giving you a voice in how the health care and insurance systems in your state manage your senior’s needs.

About Richmond, VA

Cost of Living

There are many factors to consider when choosing a community to retire in and a facility that will meet your needs there. One of those factors is the cost of senior living in the area. The average monthly cost of an assisted living facility in Richmond is $4,901 including amenities. For many people, this is comparable to the cost of living at home because it includes housing, utilities, maintenance, housekeeping, transportation, assistance, meals, and other amenities. Your national senior living advisor in Richmond can help you better understand the factors that might be influencing the cost of each community you consider, as well as locate the communities within your budget.

Local Hospitals and Medical Care

Your Richmond senior living advocate and advisor will ask about your medical history to help you identify senior living communities near hospitals and clinics that meet your needs. The highest-ranked hospitals in Richmond, Virginia, according to U.S. News & World Report, are:
- VCU Medical Center
- Chippenham Hospital
- Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center
- Bon Secours – Richmond Community Hospital
- Bon Secours – Southside Medical Center
There are myriad additional hospitals, rehab centers, and clinics in the area.
Weather and Climate

Weather is another important factor to discuss with your Richmond senior living care advisor. Richmond gets more rain, less snow, and more sun than the average U.S. city each year, making it a great place to catch some rays and watch things grow. Seniors enjoy spending time outdoors most during the months of May, September, and October, which are the most pleasant months in the city. They tend to stick to indoor activities during January and February, when temperatures dip to a low of 28 degrees. The BestPlaces Comfort Index is 7.3, making Richmond more comfortable than the average U.S. city.
Transportation

While many seniors and their families are curious about public transportation, your Richmond senior living housing advisor will likely share that free local transportation is a standard amenity at any senior living community in the area. If public transportation is important to you, though – and sometimes it is – the GRTC Transit System will get you where you need to go.
