If You’ve Ever Bought a Home, You Already Know More About Assisted Living Than You Think.

Shopping for long-term care is a lot like shopping for real estate.
If you’ve ever looked for a home, you know this:
A house in South Portland isn’t the same as one in Westbrook.

Different taxes.
Different zoning.
Different school districts.
Different feel—even if they look similar on paper.

So why do we act like every assisted living facility is the same?

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
Each senior care facility has its own ownership structure, management company, community involvement, and relationship with the state.

Some accept Medicaid.
Some don’t.
Some say they do—but only under very specific conditions.
Some are family-owned, some are corporate-run, and some have turnover so high you’ll never meet the same staff twice.

And just like real estate, these differences aren’t always visible.
You need someone who knows how to read between the lines.

That’s what I do.

I help you understand what’s really going on behind the scenes—so your decision isn’t based on a tour or a brochure, but on a clear understanding of what’s right for your family.

Because no one wants to move twice.
And in senior care, getting it wrong costs more than just money.

Let’s MAP it out.
You wouldn’t buy a home without a guide.
You shouldn’t choose assisted living without one either.
