Senior Living Directories and Care Resources

Monthly senior living costs vary widely by care level, apartment size, amenities, and location. Independent living generally costs less than assisted living, while memory care commonly costs more because it includes specialized supervision and programming. Ask each community for a written breakdown of base rent, care charges, medication management, meals, deposits, and possible fee increases so your family can compare the full monthly commitment.

There is no single nationwide directory with one official name. Families often use senior resource directories, aging-services directories, Area Agencies on Aging, and local referral platforms. Move My Mom is a free senior transition resource platform that connects families with placement advisors and trusted professionals for moving, downsizing, real estate, donations, auctions, and cleanouts in Palm Beach County.

Move My Mom helps families identify and connect with professionals who support an older adult’s transition into senior living. The platform offers free advisor consultations, a planning checklist, and referrals to placement advisors, senior move managers, movers, real estate agents, donation services, auction or liquidation experts, and cleanout providers. Families may choose help for one task or coordinate several services.

Yes. Move My Mom’s referral service and advisor consultation are provided at no cost to families. If you choose to hire a referred professional, that provider may charge for its own work, such as moving, real estate representation, estate liquidation, or cleanout services. Before committing, discuss the provider’s scope, pricing, timing, insurance, and cancellation terms directly.

Yes. A senior living placement advisor can help narrow community options based on care requirements, preferred location, budget, lifestyle, and availability. They can explain differences among independent living, assisted living, and memory care, coordinate tours, and help families prepare questions. Families should still review each community’s contract, services, staffing approach, and state inspection information before making a final decision.

Begin by discussing your parent’s priorities, care needs, finances, and preferred timeline. Tour potential communities, gather medical and legal documents, and create an inventory of household belongings. Decide what to keep, gift, sell, donate, or discard, then arrange packing and moving support. Confirm medication transfers, address changes, utilities, emergency contacts, and essential items for the first days after move-in.

Yes. Move My Mom connects families with senior movers and senior move managers in Palm Beach County. Senior movers handle physical relocation tasks such as packing, transport, and delivery.

Service scope and charges vary by provider and the level of assistance selected.
