The traditional ways consumers have located residential care facilities, included the phone book yellow pages, senior care directories and referral agencies.  So when was the last time you opened your telephone book to find a local business?  Chances are your telephone book is either gathering dust in a closet or is used as a door stopper.  How many times have you received inquiries from senior care directories that resulted in a placement?  What are you paying for a placement from a referral agency?

Consumers. just like you are actively searching for sevices and information on the web!

Now is the time for you to consider your own unique website for your facility.  Let the consumer find you directly.  To learn more about facility website creation, web design, and to learn how consumers can find your site, call David Brotman at 916-350-4085 or visit www.123websitebiz.com.
