The Industry's Dirty Secret

The "free" advice your family gets costs someone $3,000 to $15,000. And it shows.

Traditional senior living "advisors" earn referral fees from the communities they recommend. They only show you facilities that pay them. The result: families get steered toward providers with the biggest commissions, not the best care.
