Step 10 of 10Anything else?

Tell me in your own words

Your okay, before anything moves

Three separate okays. You can say yes to one and no to another.

Okay for Miami Placement to use what I wrote here to help me find a place. Okay to share a needs card with homes that might fit. It has no name and no phone number. Okay to give my name and number to the home I pick, and only that home.

Okay to text me about open beds and my search. Reply STOP anytime.

Texting is separate and never required. We can just call.

Homes pay us only when a private pay family we introduced moves in. No home pays us for a Medicaid family, and we help those families at no cost to them. Nobody pays to be shown first.

I run Mary's House ALF and have a personal interest in it. If it fits, I'll tell you. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that too.

Let's find the right place.

Thank you.
