Certified Quality Elder Care
Advocating for Seniors

Seniors First
We're Changing the Way Referrals are Made

certified senior approved servicesCertified Senior Approved health and elder care companies are distinctively different. Each actively advocates for the right of all seniors to receive excellent care - and to remain safe - physically, emotionally, and even safe from financial fraud and abuse.

With rising costs of medical care, reports of elder abuse and fraud, and concerns about ongoing customer support, the consumer, more than ever, is demanding better information prior to making a decision to contract and employ a service on behalf of self, spouse, or loved one.

We represent a network of privately owned quality health and elder care related businesses that offer products, resources, and services for the growing populations of senior citizens, the disabled, and the baby-boomers (the adult children of the elderly).

Senior Approved Services, LLC is the first and only company nationwide that uses customer satisfaction survey results as a measuring device to determine proof of quality service, validating that your business is indeed an ethical and safe reliable company to contract with.

The process reaches beyond the traditional measures dictated by the various licensing and state surveying methods common to this industry. This unique survey process helps an existing customer articulate their perception of the overall experience of contracting with a health or elder-care related service.

This controlled survey process then provides future potential clients the knowledge that other seniors and their adult family caregivers have found the service to be one of excellence.

Health & Elder Care Business Opportunities

The economic crisis (felt in every community) dictates a review on how we spend money. In this economy, it is even more imperative that responsible business owners take advantage of methods that quickly assures potential clients of their trustworthiness. Our process does just that.

We are very unique. We are not a referral company. You do not pay for clients, leads or referrals.

A Preferred Certified Senior ApprovedService begins by first qualifying as a Certified Senior Approved Services.

A Preferred provider is one that has successfully met our high standards, as verified by survey results each year for three or more years. During this three year period, operating as a Certified Senior Approved service, we've also found the health or elder care business to respond in an excellent manner to requests made by the elder clients and families who have contracted with their services.

About our Services

Our services have been developed based on consumer-related survey results and focus group studies. We provide, based on actual consumer requests:

  • Simplification. A one-call solution to locate all services that a senior may need, now and in the immediate future

  • Assurances. A method to quickly differentiate the multiple listings of choices.

  • Continuity. The need for a 'point' person that may be called upon as often as needed for additional assistance.

  • Care Management. An affordable program that would continue to follow up with his or her loved ones while using a service.

  • Advocacy. A non-threatening, positive program that, if needed, would advocate for the senior without creating a problem with the service provider.
