CareAvailability site expands into Tennessee to help families navigate an additional 1,130 care and senior housing options.

CareAvailability is proud to announce its expansion into the beautiful state of Tennessee, officially providing its real-time availability of senior housing options. CareAvailability remains a NEW industry standard as the first and only website that delivers real-time reporting of availability for senior care up to the minute. The site first launched in Oregon during the COVID pandemic as an effort to help hospitals find care for patients needing to transition out of beds. Expansion followed into Washington, California, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Utah, Texas and Florida to name a few. Our research has highlighted a significant number of older Americans in Tennessee looking for senior care.

Unlike other sites, this online resource lists every provider for free, allowing them to update their current availability at no cost; this significantly increases Family and Patient Freedom of Choice like never before. Until now, there has never been a site that delivers a comprehensive list for families to search without having to give any personal details.

Senior advocates and health professionals rely on CareAvailability to put together comprehensive lists of care options, as well as allowing people to self-navigate searching for care providers. Instead of care providers needing to update multiple paid sites, CareAvailability is an easy one-stop resource, as we do not charge hospitals, physicians, health clinics, social workers, or any health team for their services. Medicare Ratings are also included to support Patient Freedom of Choice.

CareAvailability continues to alleviate the search for senior care in an already trying time. Options can be overwhelming, especially when families don’t know where to start. The team at CareAvailability has taken extra steps to provide educational articles to help families better navigate the maze of Long Term Care and aging, by providing links to state agencies, as well as explaining local terminology and regulations.

“We wanted to provide families and caregivers with a comprehensive resource to find care options for seniors quickly and efficiently,” CareAvailability’s CEO, Amy Schmidt, says. Ms. Schmidt further explains, “Our site provides this extensive database with real-time options to assist all seeking senior care with reliable, up to the minute options.”
