myLifeSite Continues Growth Momentum with CCRC Online Database
RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) December 21, 2017 -- myLifeSite is an online tool for consumers, consultants, financial advisors and organizations to view and understand data for continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs, also referred to as life plan communities) all in one easy location, free of charge. They also offer a paid premium content service that provides complete access to communities’ entry pricing, monthly fees and contracts, as well as a proprietary financial calculator that projects the long-term financial impact of moving to a retirement community. myLifeSite strives to simplify the CCRC decision process with their easy online comparison database, eliminating informational barriers to entry.
myLifeSite covers and frequently updates records for nearly 700 CCRCs primarily located in in California, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Recently, the company added Pennsylvania CCRCs to their records and plans to add additional states such as Arizona in the near future.
During 2017, myLifeSite grew its number of site users by more than 500 percent. “Soon, we’ll reach 10,000 users,” says Brad Breeding, myLifeSite’s cofounder and CEO. Its number of premium content users have grown nearly 800 percent.
Before starting myLifeSite, Breeding was a financial planner for many older adults in Raleigh, North Carolina. He recognized the need for specific financial plans when it comes to preparing for senior living. In 2017, he will have spoken to more than 30 groups about the issues surrounding CCRCs. “There is so much education that needs to be done in terms of understanding how CCRC contracts work and mapping out the best financial plan,” says Breeding. “CCRCs are a good solution for seniors, but there are a lot of details to understand and the process can be complex.”
myLifeSite is disrupting other senior living community databases because, unlike the traditional model of selling consumer information to senior living communities, myLifeSite asks for the consumer to pay a nominal fee and keeps their personal information confidential. Furthermore, its database contains difficult-to-obtain information such as upfront and monthly fees and contractual obligations that are normally only provided to consumers who visit the community. “Our main goal is to educate our customers and help them make a better-informed decision. A mistake will cost a lot more than $29.” says cofounder and executive vice president of product development Ken Taylor, who manages the database.
