About DC Senior Advisor

How we help DC-metro families find verified senior care across three jurisdictions.

Quick answer: About DC Senior Advisor
HomeAboutAbout DC Senior Advisor

DC Senior Advisor is a free senior care advisory service for families across the Washington D.C. metro - the District, Maryland's Montgomery & Prince George's counties, and Northern Virginia's Arlington, Alexandria & Fairfax. Think of us as the neighbor who's already walked this road: we help you make sense of the options, weigh licensed local communities side by side, and take the next step without second-guessing it - whether you're in a hurry or still months out.

Here's the honest part: we answer to families, not facilities. Our help costs you nothing because a community pays us only if your loved one decides to move in. We don't resell what you tell us or hand it off to a dozen sales teams. What we do instead is hand-match you to one to three vetted options that genuinely fit the care needs, the budget, and the jurisdiction you have in mind. Military families and veterans are always welcome here, too.

What sets us apart

  • Fluent in all three jurisdictions: we track DC Health, Maryland's OHCQ, and Virginia's VDSS/VDH rules side by side - most local advisors only know one.
  • Free for families: no fees, ever, for our help.
  • Licensed and compliant: we operate as a paid referral service under the referral and disclosure standards of the District, Maryland, and Virginia, and only refer to communities with a clean, active license.
  • Hand-matched: one to three options picked for your situation - never a spreadsheet dump of everything in town.
