Press Release Summary: Society of Certified Senior Advisors® (SCSA) today introduced the CSA < a href=http://www.snapforseniors.com> Senior Housing Locator, an online navigational tool designed to help its members .(DENVER, CO) July 29, 2008 (PressReleasePoint)
Press Release Body: The new informational resource-a link to which can be found on www.csa.us-allows users to search a database of more than 60,000 senior housing communities, including listings for all licensed senior housing in the nation. Searches can be conducted by city, county, ZIP code, community name, etc.,
and can be refined by criteria such as desired care services, payment options, and lifestyle
amenities.
"The purpose of the Certified Senior Advisor designation is to create a professional who is in tune
with the unique issues faced by their senior clients-one of the most challenging being the need for
appropriate housing," says Ed Pittock, SCSA CEO and president. "The introduction of the < a
href=http://www.snapforseniors.com> Senior Housing Locator ensures that CSAs are equipped to help older Americans and their families
make informed decisions about their housing options from the most comprehensive and current listing
service in the nation."
According to SNAPforSeniors-the company which created the < a href=http://www.snapforseniors.com> Senior Housing Locator-there are 247 different senior housing license types across the country
and new license types emerging each year. On top of allowing users to perform a search for housing
anywhere in the nation, the < a href=http://www.snapforseniors.com> Senior Housing Locator offers definitions for all of these license types. In doing so, the SCSA
and SNAPforSeniors strive to make searching for housing in a different state much easier by
providing the relevant information at the click of a mouse.
"With families spread all over the country and retirees moving to different areas, finding senior
housing in another state is a common need for older Americans," says Derek Preston, CEO of
SNAPforSeniors. "The < a href=http://www.snapforseniors.com> Senior Housing Locator makes this process as simple as possible, and does so without the bias of
referral services or advertising-based listing services. Consumers can collaborate with their
trusted CSA's who now have access to an interactive tool intended to help seniors easily find the
community which best fits their needs and preferences, the first time."
The < a href=http://www.snapforseniors.com> Senior Housing Locator also provides users with a simple way to check how certain communities
fare in Medicare inspection reports. Users can go directly to a Medicare-certified facility's
Nursing Home Compare report page on medicare.gov, circumventing 7-10 additional pages to find the
quality information desired. From this page, users are able to check how the facility fared in
certain quality measures, as well as check staffing and inspection reports.
