About Us
Why We Exist
At SeniorHousingNet, we aim to help older adults find housing that will meet their current and future care needs, while allowing the most active and social lifestyles possible. We believe that by helping seniors find the best communities with the appropriate level of care (such as home care, assisted living, or other types of care), they can continue to thrive – both mentally and physically.
We Are Here to Help
No matter if you are searching for yourself or a loved one, we understand that finding the right type of senior housing and care is often an emotional, stressful, and confusing process – not to mention time-consuming. Our resources are here to help you along the way, whether that’s by contacting one of our Family Advisors, or using our directory of senior living communities to research care options and resident reviews.
To get started you can use our Senior Care Assessment Tool to help narrow down what types of housing or care are best for yourself or your loved one. Additionally, you can use the collection of helpful guides and articles that our editorial and writing team has created to assist you in your journey.
