Our Services

"The Senior Guru" is a senior housing and care marketing and information service. We offer resources and personalized assistance to help individuals and families find suitable senior housing and care options. This may encompass various types of care, such as independent living, home care, residential care homes, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Based on your specific needs and preferences, we provide information about contracted senior communities ("Participating Communities") and forward your information to these communities. Our service is provided at no cost to families as Participating Communities pay a fee to TSG.

Participating Senior Housing and/or Care Communities

Participating Communities are solely responsible for evaluating, accepting, or declining residents. They must ensure their staff members are qualified, up-to-date with education, and possess the necessary facilities, resources, and equipment to provide competent care. Each Participating Community is responsible for the conditions within their community and the training, actions, and omissions of their employees, contractors, vendors, and any other individuals working for them.

The content posted on Participating Communities' pages or on the website is the responsibility of the respective community and does not reflect our views or that of any individual associated with us. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information posted by or for Participating Communities on the website and assume no liability for actions taken based on such information. By using the website and services, you assume all associated risks.

No Endorsement; No Affiliation; Not a Broker

We do not endorse or recommend any Participating Community, and we do not make judgments about their quality. Our service is purely informational, and we do not facilitate placement of individuals in Participating Communities, conduct medical assessments, or make decisions regarding admission. We are not representatives or agents of either the consumer or the Participating Community and do not act on behalf of either party. The decision of whether an individual is an appropriate candidate for admission to a Participating Community is solely the responsibility of the community and the potential resident, their family, care provider(s), or other involved parties. TSG does not directly broker, sell, or lease senior living spaces and is not a party to any transaction between a provider and a family.

No Professional Advice

All information, materials, content, and advice on the website or through the services are for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice in areas such as medical, financial, legal, or other domains. TSG expressly disclaims any and all liability regarding any treatment, actions, or consequences that may result from following the information provided through the website and services. Seek advice from appropriately trained and licensed specialists for any matters requiring professional guidance.

This authorization remains in effect until you request that we no longer provide you with services. However, we may continue to refer to and disclose your information when communicating with a Participating Community for standard business practices (e.g., billing) until the matter is resolved.

Dispute Resolution and Mandatory Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

By using the website and services, you agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, the website, or services, including any dispute or claim regarding the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of these Terms of Use (collectively, "Disputes"), will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and provides similar dispute resolution processes. Arbitration is administered by a neutral arbitrator rather than a judge or jury, and arbitration decisions are generally final and binding. The arbitrator has the authority to award damages, remedies, or other relief only on an individual basis and to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by the individual's claim.

If you have any questions about these terms, please feel free to contact us through the details provided on our "Contact" page.
