Editorial Standards & Trust — How we vet facilities, fact-check pricing, and maintain editorial independence.
Tampa Senior Advisor publishes guidance that families rely on during stressful, high-stakes decisions. We hold our content to clear standards so you can trust it.
How we source
Where does our facility data come from? The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and FloridaHealthFinder — the state's official licensing system. Cost ranges reflect current Tampa Bay market data and are reviewed regularly. For program details on Medicaid, VA, and DOEA, we rely on official state and federal sources.
How we stay accurate
Our cost figures carry a date, we confirm a provider's license before ever recommending it, and we revise pages whenever programs or prices shift. Throughout, we keep a clear line between plain fact and our own advisory opinion.
Our independence
Yes, communities pay us when a family moves in — but our recommendations follow fit, we're open about how we earn, and we'll point families to strong options that send us nothing. See how we get paid →
How Tampa Senior Advisor can help
We're a free, local senior-care advisory service built for Tampa Bay families. There's no charge to you — a community pays us a referral fee only in the event you decide to move in. If all of this is feeling like a lot, tell us what's going on and we'll steer you toward the right next step, whether or not a paid placement is ever part of it.
