Our Services

Florida Senior Consulting provides senior housing placement assistance to seniors and their families and assistance with health care and other related services. FSC provides in-person help in senior housing and related services.

This may include independent living, home care, residential care homes, assisted living, specialized memory care, and skilled nursing. After meeting with the family and understanding their needs and goals, we provide them with information about contracted communities (“Participating Communities”) and forward the family’s information to those Participating Communities. We also customarily tour the communities with the family and seniors. Families can review detailed information about local and national Participating Communities and get personalized, knowledgeable assistance in person and by telephone from an FSC client manager. FSC’s placement services are offered at no charge to families as the Participating Communities pay a fee to FSC. If the client requests other services, FSC will quote any fee due for that specific service.

Participating Senior Housing And Care Communities

FSC tours all the Participating Communities in person and gathers information on them. However, the Participating Communities are solely responsible for evaluating, accepting, declining, and caring for all residents. They are also responsible for having appropriately qualified and licensed staff and the necessary facilities, resources, and equipment to provide the services and care its residents require competently.

Each Participating Community is responsible for the conditions in its community and the training of and acts and omissions of its employees, contractors, vendors, and any other individual who works at or for a community.

Each Participating Community is responsible for the content of the information posted on its page or Sites. Their information does not represent FSC’s views or any individual associated with us. We do not vouch for the accuracy or completeness of any information posted by or for the Participating Community on the Sites. FSC does not broker, sell, or lease space from these communities and is not a party to any transaction between the provider and the family. We do not represent the accuracy of this information and take no responsibility or assume any liability for any actions you may take by relying on their information.

Instead, disputes relating in any way to the Sites or Services must be submitted to binding arbitration administered by JAMS https://www.jamsadr.com/. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

You and we agree that any dispute arising out of or related to the Sites or our Services is personal to you and us and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding.

You and we agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and we will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by us, we will pay all JAMS fees and costs.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this section by sending an email to [ NEED LINK HERE] In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.

If any portion of this section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms of Service; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this section; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section will be enforceable.
