For families
You are doing something loving and hard. We'll help you see real options — clearly.
Finding care for a parent or spouse is one of the most emotional decisions a family makes. CareNavia is here to make it calmer — with honest information, real prices, and no one pushing you.
What you get
Real prices, side by side
Licensed homes send real price offers on your specific request. You see them in one place, not scattered across phone calls and voicemails.
Verified license on every price
Every offer is shown with that home's California license status and the date it was last verified. You never see a price bare.
Optional human advisor
If you want a person to talk it through with, a CareNavia advisor can help you understand what each offer includes. They inform — never steer.
Privacy by default
Care homes see your loved one's needs — not your name or phone number — until you decide to share.
How we're different
No referral-fee steering. Ever.
Traditional senior-placement agencies are paid by care homes through large referral fees — often a big share of the first month's rent. That quietly pushes families toward whoever pays the agency most.
CareNavia doesn't work that way. We earn the same no matter which home you choose. That's the whole point.
Your contact information is shared with a care home only when you decide to move forward.
Fees
What it costs a family
Straightforward and honest.
Using the marketplace
Completing the intake, seeing real offers, and asking questions carries no fee for families.
CareNavia never touches rent, deposits, or care payments. That money is only ever between you and the home you choose.
Optional live advisor session
For families who want extra help, a guided session with a CareNavia advisor is available.
- About $99 for a guided session up to two hours
- Then about $65/hour after that
Pricing is current and pending final confirmation.
Privacy & dignity
Your information is protected. You control what's shared.
We collect only what's needed to help licensed homes send you an accurate offer. We never sell your information, and homes don't see your contact details until you choose to move forward.
If public programs are your path
You're welcome here, and we'll point you the right way.
CareNavia is a private-pay marketplace, so we don't place families through Medi-Cal or other public programs. If public benefits are your path, we'll respectfully point you to California's public resources so you can find the right next step.
When you're ready, we're here.
Answer a few plain questions and see real, verified offers. There is no obligation, and there is no fee to look.
CareNavia shares information and options; we are not a medical or financial advisor. For medical, legal, or financial guidance, please consult a licensed professional.
