About NestScout
We're a senior placement service in Orange County, California.
We were built inside a hospice and home-health company, which means we have spent years sitting with families on the worst day of their lives, watching them try to find somewhere safe for their mother with three days' notice and no idea where to start.
The existing referral services couldn't help them. Not because the people are bad — because the business model is. Those services are paid by the communities, so they only show you the communities that pay. If your mother needs a small Vietnamese-speaking home in Westminster for $4,000 a month, or if she's on Medi‑Cal, you are simply not a customer they can serve.
What we do differently
| We list everyone | All 1114 licensed homes in the county, not just the ones who pay us. If a better home for your parent doesn't pay us a cent, you'll still hear about it from us. |
| We take Medi‑Cal families | The big referral services are paid a commission by the home, benchmarked to the first month's rent. A home paid at Medi‑Cal rates cannot fund that fee — so their model cannot serve these families. We built this for exactly those families. |
| We actually call the homes | Every week. That's how we know who has a room today instead of guessing from a stale list. |
| We check the license | Every home we show you is currently licensed with the State of California. We verify it against state records. We will not send you to a home that isn't. |
How we're paid
Our help is free to families. When a family we assist moves into a home, that home pays us a referral fee. We list every licensed home in the county — including the ones that pay us nothing — and we never rank a home higher because it pays us.
