Why "free senior advisor" websites ask for your phone number

Sites like A Place for Mom and Caring.com are not care providers. They pass your name and number to several communities, who then call you, and the community you pick pays the website a fee — often close to a full month's rent. That is why their prices are hidden until you call. We list only licensed facilities, link straight to state inspection reports, and never ask for your phone number.
