Most, if not all agencies who will “search and recommend” a facility for you have contracts with those facilities that hire them, and require the agency bring a certain number of prospective clients to them during the contract period. The agency is paid by the facility for each client who moves in. So, be advised, and ask each agency if they have such contracts with the facilities they recommend.

Yes, I’m aware of that but that’s the way to find a place and to get a discount from the place, they can get you a discount. It’s like buying a car if you go through an agency and the agency has to get paid otherwise why would they be in business so I do understand that I think that it’s beneficial to do that they know a lot more than I do for what to look for and avoid the chandelier effect. I know they get paid and that’s something that I keep in mind and I thank you for the information you are very correct. But if they can save me some money and get me into a better place then I could look for on my own then it’s worth it.
