This careavailability.com is really incredible. It’s a powerful resource providing value just for two minutes of filtering. A user can feel really great about the fact that providers can list at no charge. No charge to provider means there isn’t a possibility of missing out on a place that offers great community but doesn’t have enough of marketing budget to “appear”. Currently I am a little bit of an emergency mode to get my Mom from her own apartment in state of VA (near one brother) to an assisted living community near my other brother in Spokane, WA. This process is of course hard due to usually prompted by deterioration mentally and physically so I can’t get over how this takes the user from “I have no idea” to I know where to call next! I just shared your careavailability with a client who had first been told by me to start with Retirement Connection.com.
Thank you every so much for all you hard work to make many people’s lives better!!
On a personal note, I used CareAvailability to help a neighbor search for skilled care and assisted living in Florida. Her children lived out of state, so we needed a resource to view options online. I was able to search options and make a custom list to share with her 5 children. We divided the list up to call on communities. Before this, one of her sons visited a different website and was harassed by calls and emails for weeks not knowing they would broadcast his contact details. CareAvailability allows families to reach out when they are ready and only to the communities that they choose. Professionally, when I was VP of Operations at a senior living company, I appreciated that this site is so different from others because the communication is made directly between family and provider. When a family called or used the contact form, our company would work directly with the family, and my marketing team was not wasting time following up with people that are not interested or angry about receiving cold calls. It is a better use of time for everyone involved and we do not pay for leads/referrals.
What's impressive about the CareAvailability platform is the comprehensive information it makes available to those searching for senior living options. Today’s consumers need to be provided with the information necessary to make choices; they shouldn’t have to search multiple times to gather important elements. CareAvailability is changing the game for the benefit of the consumer and the provider. It’s a perfect match with our philosophy.
We are so appreciative of your team’s creation of Care Availability.com as it allows us as a Regional Medical Center the ability to reach families who are often not within our community to provide them with this resource to view and select post-acute care options. They report the ease of use to research the appropriate level of care as well as your inclusion of Medicare.gov star ratings and finally they love any photos the facilities add to their listings to allow them the opportunity to visualize the facilities.
The one thing that EVERYONE….. not just my staff tell me every day…. Why can’t everyone update their availability? No one has the time to cold call every facility nor do they know that a Google search will provide them with as complete of a list as your online service provides.
Thank you for all you and your team do to assist case managers everywhere and most of all how your resources assist our patients/families. Because of your resources these folks can easily navigate what is often times a complex and unknown process.
As the Community Relations Director at Farmington Square Assisted Living and Memory Care. I would often get calls from care managers or discharge planners from hospitals and rehabs. When I don’t have availability, I direct the inquirer to CareAvailability.com to help them find a community with openings. I also use it when I get calls for Medicaid and often times walk through the website with the family over the phone until they have a robust list of communities to call. I am so thankful for this website because it provides a much needed tool that saves time and resources. Families feel empowered being able to research quickly and conveniently.
I have worked with Amy and her team since the inception of Retirement Connection. The professionalism and quality of the product never disappoints, in fact it gets better each year! Retirement Connection provides all of the necessary networking, contact information and events that keep Boomers, seniors, caregivers and providers “Connected” through this challenging time and well beyond. The newly added CareAvailability.com provides another streamlined tier to share and gather resources real time with a user friendly database.
I encourage everyone in our industry to use these invaluable resources to help patients, families, and health care teams self-navigate the complexities of searching for senior care in their communities!
The advertisement dollars spent is money well spent. With the move-ins I received last year, if they only stay the industry average of 3.5 years in independent living, we made $756,000. Pretty good investment. This company connects with hospitals, clinics, and more. We have gotten a few move-ins already since advertising We also had a small issue with our electronic ad and their team worked with us to fix it right away. Great company to work with.
Retirement Connection has been an integral part in the growth of my business. The tailored experience through CareAvailability.com has proven invaluable, enabling a broader reach in the community. I would recommend it to anyone working within the senior population. Well worth the sponsorship fees.
I have worked with Amy and her team for almost three years. As a caregiver provider for seniors, it is important to be connected to the resources in your industry and Retirement Connection / CareAvailability.com is that conduit. They recently released their CareAvailability.com portal that links my company to Case Managers, Case Workers, Hospice Nurses and senior referral agencies. Each morning I log on to my staging-CareAvailability.com site and in just seconds I can update my caregiver availability for agencies looking for in-home care. Great job Amy and Retirement Connection team! And thank you for your support, it is the most detailed complete resource available to our patients and families. We couldn’t perform our roles without this level of support we gain from Amy Schmidt and her team!
