Who We Are

...Why choose CareQuest instead of a national agency?
Working with a local agency, such as CareQuest, ensures that you will be directed to appropriate communities and resources. We are familiar with communities and care homes in our area, plus meet with and frequently tour with our clients in person.
Large national companies, or internet agencies, traditionally do not meet with or personally evaluate their clients. In most cases, they do not screen based on financial boundaries and because they are not local, they do not personally tour or have intimate knowledge of the communities they suggest.
Furthermore, if you are searching online, personal information that you provide may get passed along to dozens of communities who have an obligation to call and or email you in attempts of persuading you to tour. These companies may even “claim” your initial inquiry to collect a referral fee, even if you choose not to work with them. This will make it more difficult for you and for a local agent to assist you.
By working with a local placement agency, like CareQuest, you will receive hands-on assistance and be ensured that the information you have is relevant
Let our experience help you or your loved one live the best life possible!
The CareQuest consultation is absolutely free of charge to you.
