Your progress is saved automatically in your browser session. If you create an account, your survey is linked to your profile and you can access your personalized path anytime.

Question 10

Who sees my survey answers?

Accepted Answer

Your information is kept private. We only share relevant details with communities that match your criteria, and only when you express interest in connecting with them. We never sell your data to third parties.

Question 11

What types of communities are available?

Accepted Answer

We partner with a wide range of communities including assisted living, independent living, memory care, board and care homes, continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), and more to ensure we can match you with the right level of care.

Question 12

What is assisted living?

Accepted Answer

Assisted living communities provide support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals — while maintaining as much independence as possible. Residents typically have their own apartment or suite with access to communal spaces and activities.

Question 13

What is memory care?

Accepted Answer

Memory care is specialized care for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other memory-related conditions. These communities offer secure environments, structured routines, and staff trained in memory care techniques.

Question 14

What is independent living?

Accepted Answer

Independent living communities are designed for active older adults who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities. Residents live independently in their own apartments with access to amenities like dining, fitness, and activities — without needing daily care assistance.

Question 15

How do I know which care type is right?

Accepted Answer

Our survey helps determine the right care level based on your answers about daily assistance needs, medical requirements, and mobility. If you are unsure, start your path — it is designed to guide you toward the right type of care.

Question 16

Does YourPath help with financial guidance?

Accepted Answer

Your personalized path includes financial guidance specific to your situation, including potential payment options, veteran's benefits information, long-term care insurance considerations, and available community discounts.

Question 17

How much does senior living cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary widely by location, care level, and community. Assisted living averages $4,500–$6,000/month nationally, while memory care typically ranges from $5,500–$8,000/month. Independent living is generally $2,500–$4,500/month. Your personalized path includes specific cost ranges for your matched communities.

Question 18

What payment options are available?

Accepted Answer

Common payment methods include private pay (personal savings and income), long-term care insurance, veterans benefits (VA Aid & Attendance), Medicaid (for eligible individuals), and reverse mortgages. Some communities accept multiple payment types. Our survey asks about your payment preferences to find compatible communities.

Question 19

Does Medicare cover senior living?

Accepted Answer

Medicare generally does not cover long-term senior living costs like assisted living or memory care. It may cover short-term skilled nursing care after a hospital stay. Medicaid, which is different from Medicare, may help cover some costs depending on your state and eligibility.

Question 20

How can my community partner with YourPath?

Accepted Answer

We welcome partnerships with quality senior living communities. As a partner, you receive structured lead profiles with detailed care needs, preferences, and context — so your team can personalize the first interaction. Visit our For Communities page or contact us to learn more.

Question 21

What does partnering cost?

Accepted Answer

Our model is performance-based. You only pay for results — tour scheduling fees and move-in commissions. No upfront costs, no monthly subscriptions, and no fees for unqualified contacts.
