One of the most common questions about senior placement services is in regards to the commissions they may make from the community or home selected by a senior client. While it is true that elderly care placement agencies may receive compensation from a care facility chosen by a senior or their family, the agency is under no obligation or contract to recommend specific homes or communities. Because of this, the agency can focus solely on the best interests of the senior, offering their expert, honest suggestions for the arrangement that fits their needs.
