FAQ

How do I know I can trust AZSPA?

We strive to make our referral agency as reputable as possible. Our management team also consists of a Law Enforcement Officer, an attorney who specializes in HIPAA compliance, and a W.P. Carey Graduate with Honors. All our operations are transparent and we make sure you clearly understand the process throughout by having an in-person advisor who is assigned to your case and prioritizes YOU.

How do I know that Arizona Senior Placement Advisors is the right consulting agency for me?

This is up to you because you are the one in control of this but, if our story resonates with you and you appreciate attentive and compassionate care, we know we're the best option. Our in-person approach is unique to AZSPA as well as our additional value added in our '1 of 3' perk system we offer also differentiates us from the other options.

Will my information be kept private?

While it isn't legally required of the other referral agencies, we think your information deserves to be protected under the highest scrutiny. We protect all your information under HIPAA complaint processes and ensure that your business is kept discreet and safe.

Why don't I have to pay any money to AZSPA?

We don't charge you anything throughout this entire process because we are compensated by the facility you select. They will compensate us with a percentage of the first month's rent. We use that money to pay the advisor who places you as well as to fund whichever one of the additional perks you select. This doesn't affect the facilities we suggest because we work for you and prioritize your needs and wants during the search process, one of which being price point.

If I don't want your services, can you still provide me information?

While we won't be able to search Facilities for you, we still want you to be prepared and knowledgeable.
