# Silver Linings Senior Care Advisors

> Silver Linings Senior Care Advisors is a free, state-certified senior living placement service for families in Oregon, Utah, and Nevada. We help families compare Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), and we are paid by the chosen community — never by the family.

## How families use us

1. Call or submit the free assistance form. An advisor responds within hours (same day for crisis placements).
2. The advisor conducts a care-needs assessment covering medical, ADL, cognitive, social, financial, and location factors.
3. We narrow 100+ communities in your area to a short list (typically 3) of vetted matches.
4. We tour with you, decode contracts and Residency Agreements, and connect you with elder-law attorneys, move managers, and Medicaid specialists as needed.
5. We stay involved through move-in and the first 30 days.
