Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How does Aging with Grace differ from “Free” Internet Services?
- A: “Free” Internet Referral or Placement Services basically provide the following: they search the Internet for properties or services; they provide you with a “laundry list” of available properties or services; they send a “Referral Alert” to the community; and, they may set up an appointment for you to visit. And, for their efforts, they receive a commission from the property or service that you choose. The services that they provide can be easily accomplished by someone with access to a computer and a phone. It stands to reason that they will only refer you to communities or services where they will receive a commission, not necessarily the best place for mom.
