Thank you for choosing CarePatrol! Our free referral service helps you find pre-screened 'A' graded care providers quickly and easily.
Not all facilities want their CarePatrol grade published to the public. THEREFORE, we ask that you complete the form below with your current email address and phone number so we can send you the grade of the facility that you have requested.
Our Senior Care Consultants are available to you FREE of charge to assist you in getting this grade or to help you find an 'A' rated facility that meets your needs.
How Does Care Patrol Grade Their Facilities?
CarePatrol obtains violation information from the facility's latest state required survey. We then compare the grades of every facility in the area AGAINST themselves. This creates the A standard deviation from which the grades of 'A','B','C','D' and 'F' are assigned.
Why Does CarePatrol Grade The Facilities?
CarePatrol grades the facilities because we feel that families should know that some facilities are following their state rules and regulations because those who tend to have minimal violations tend to have less actual care problems. Not all facilities were created equal and not all facilities with gorgeous chandeliers give good care.
What Happens When I Start A Search With CarePatrol?
CarePatrol professionally trained Senior Care Consultants begin to gather information about your loved one via a telephonic call with you or an in person interview. They then begin to match your loved one's needs to 'A' rated care facilities in your area and within your budget. They then offer you a free personalized tour of each of our recommended facilities to help be your guide and to support you through this big decision.
How Is CarePatrol A Free Service?
Care patrol remains a free service to families because our fees are paid for by the thousands of care providers that we have that have been graded an 'A' or 'B'. No care facility can participate in our program that has been graded sub-par
Special needs may arise or worsen as a result of an accident injury. This type of coverage acts as a personal-injury protection or “no fault” insurance, which can cover home care expenses.
Whole life insurance policies (but not term life insurance policies) can be utilized for long-term care costs. You can either surrender the policy, sell the policy, or convert it to a “life assurance” policy. Beware that if you surrender or sell the policy, you may get only 50% to 75% of the face value. On the other hand, the life insurance conversion to life assurance includes a savings guarantee plus an investment portfolio.
Health Insurance
It is important to stay aware of your insurance coverage options and life insurance benefits at every stage of life. You can purchase a supplemental policy through a life insurance company that covers long-term care. This type of insurance reimburses policyholders for a set amount per day for home care services. Contact your private health insurance or life insurance policy provider to see if this option is right for you. If you do not have long-term care insurance and do not have an immediate need for long-term care, it may be something you want to look into purchasing now. CarePatrol has information available about long-term care insurance in your area, and we can help you go through the fine print to figure out what each policy covers.

During financial planning for long-term care, you can use your savings to buy an annuity. In this scenario, the underwriter receives a lump sum of cash and then dispenses regular monthly payments to the individual after they retire. The money can then be put toward payments for a nursing home or anything else you may need. This structure is helpful for people seeking financial discipline, since the annuity forces savings to be stretched out over time and regular payments are guaranteed. Additionally, money put into an annuity won’t count against you when you are applying for government aid. A disadvantage of annuities is that some value is lost due to commission and annual charges. In addition, you will be penalized if funds are withdrawn prematurely.
