We are a paid referral service. Families pay us nothing. Care providers pay us when a referral results in service. That is a real conflict of interest and pretending otherwise would be worse than disclosing it.
What we do about it
- We list every licensed agency, not only partners. Our directory is built from the state license registry, which means it includes agencies that have never paid us anything and never will.
- We tell you when the answer is not us. If your situation is a benefits question, we point you at the state programs and free counselling that will serve you better — several of them are linked on every payer page.
- We publish our sources. Every cost figure on this site carries a citation, and we publish the figures we refuse to publish and why.
- If you ask us whether one provider pays us more than another, we will tell you.
How we are regulated
How we are regulated, plainly. Nevada licenses businesses that refer families to senior housing — a Business that Provides Referrals to Group Housing Arrangements needs a license under NRS 449.0305, and a Senior Living Community Referral Agency registers under NRS 449.1135. Both schemes reach residential settings: homes for individual residential care, residential facilities for groups, intermediate care, skilled nursing, assisted living, retirement homes and villages. An in-home care agency is not a senior living community, and referring a family to one is not, as of this writing, a licensed or registered activity in Nevada. We are telling you that rather than implying an oversight that does not exist. Where we refer families to assisted living, memory care or any senior housing, the housing rules do apply to us and we follow them.
What we will not do
- Sell your information to unrelated marketers
- Send your details to a dozen agencies so they can race you to the phone
- Refer you to an agency we know cannot staff your case
- Publish a cost figure we cannot source
If you would rather not deal with us at all, that is a completely reasonable position. Here is every licensed agency in Las Vegas and Clark County, with phone numbers, and here is the state license search so you can verify any of them without us.

Common questions
Do families pay you anything?
No. We are compensated by care providers when a referral results in service. That is a real conflict of interest, which is why we list every licensed agency including non-partners and publish our sources.
Are you licensed as a referral service?
Nevada licenses businesses that refer families to senior housing. Referring a family to an in-home care agency is not, as of this writing, a licensed or registered activity in this state. Where we refer to assisted living or other senior housing, those rules do apply to us and we follow them.
