Chicago Senior Advisor is a free senior care advisory service for Chicago and Chicagoland families. We help you understand the options, compare licensed local communities, and move forward with confidence — whether the need is urgent or months away.
We work for families, not facilities. Our guidance is free because we're compensated by a community only if your loved one chooses to move in — and we never resell your information or blast it to a dozen sales teams. Instead, we hand-match you to one to three vetted options that actually fit your care needs, budget, and preferred area.
What makes us different
- Local, not a national call center: we cover the Chicago metro across Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, and Will counties, and we know the communities firsthand.
- Free for families: no fees, ever, for our help.
- Licensed and compliant: we operate as a paid referral service under Illinois' senior-care referral and disclosure standards, and only refer to IDPH-licensed communities with a clean record in the IDPH facility directory.
- Hand-matched: one to three options chosen for your situation — not a spreadsheet of everything.
