Find Senior Living—With a Local Guide by Your Side
Local, in-person advisors help you compare Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so you can choose with confidence.
Who this is for
When a loved one needs more support, endless options and unclear pricing make every decision feel high-stakes. You shouldn’t have to navigate it alone—or rely on a national call center that doesn’t know your area.
For 25+ years, Community Care Options has helped families choose senior living that fits needs, preferences, and budget. Our LOCAL advisors live in the communities we serve and can meet in person—so you get real insight, curated options, and hands-on help through move-in. Our service for families is free.
Who we serve:
Seniors proactively choosing their next community—with local, in-person guidance
Adult children, spouses, and POAs seeking a clear path
Families facing post-hospital or rehab discharge timelines
Out-of-area relatives needing boots-on-the-ground guidance
Anyone feeling stuck choosing between good options
