Find the right care home for the person you love — with real prices and full transparency.
Answer a few plain questions. Licensed homes send real price offers. You compare every offer side by side, with each home's verified license status. You choose. We never steer.

Why CareNavia
What makes this different
The traditional senior-placement industry is paid by care homes through big referral fees — often a large share of the first month's rent. That quietly pushes families toward whoever pays the agency most. We replaced that.
Real competitive prices
Licensed homes submit sealed bids on your request. They never see each other's offers.
Verified license, every time
Every price is shown with the home’s California license status and its "last verified" date.
No referral-fee steering
We earn the same no matter which home you choose. Advisors inform — never steer.
Private by default
Your contact information stays with you until you decide which home to share it with.

FAQ
Common questions from families
Completing intake, seeing real offers, and asking questions carries no fee for families. If you'd like extra help, an optional advisor session is available — about $99 for a guided session up to two hours, then about $65/hour. CareNavia never touches rent, deposits, or care payments; that money is only ever between you and the home you choose.
CareNavia shares information and options. We are not a medical or financial advisor.
