Find the Right Place for Mom, Without the Guesswork
We know the assisted living, memory care and independent living communities around The Villages. We tour them with you. Our help is free to families.
How We Get Paid, in Plain Words
Families never pay us. When your loved one moves into a community we work with, that community pays us a referral fee. We still show you good places that do not pay us, and we tell you which ones those are.
Senior Living Fit Finder
Five questions about your mom or dad. You get the type of living that fits best, what it usually costs around here and what to ask on the tour.
Typical monthly ranges for Lake, Sumter and Marion counties, written for this demo. Prices change and every community is different. This is a starting point for a talk with us, not medical advice.
Four Ways to Live Well
Most families start by asking which one they need. Here is the short version.
Independent Living
Your own apartment, meals and fun, no care needed. About $2,800 to $4,500 a month.
Memory Care
Secure, calm and staffed for dementia. About $5,500 to $8,500 a month.
Assisted Living
Help with bathing, dressing and pills. About $4,000 to $6,500.
Home Care
Help comes to her house by the hour. About $30 to $34 an hour.

We flew down from Ohio with three days to find Dad a place. Linda had four tours lined up before we landed and told us which one had a bad inspection.
Tom R. Lady Lake
She told us up front the communities pay her. She still sent us to a small home that does not, because it fit Mom better.

Memory care was a word I did not want to hear. Linda was kind about it and stayed with us through the first month.

Questions Families Ask
Why is your help free?
Communities we work with pay us a referral fee when someone moves in. Families never pay us. We still tell you about good places that do not pay us, and we say which ones those are.
What is the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted living helps with daily tasks like bathing, dressing and medicine in an apartment style home. Memory care is for people with dementia. The doors are secured, the days are more structured and staff are trained for memory loss. It usually costs more.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
No. Medicare does not pay rent or care in assisted living. Some families use long term care insurance, VA Aid and Attendance or the Florida Medicaid long term care program. We explain which ones may fit.
Do you come on the tours?
Yes. We set up the tours, drive with you if you like and sit in on the price talk. Most families see three places in one or two days.
How fast can Mom move in?
Often within one to three weeks. A doctor's form and a health check are needed first. After a hospital stay it can go faster, so call us before discharge.
One Call, and You Are Not Doing This Alone
Tell Linda about your mom or dad. She calls back the same day with two or three places worth seeing.
