SNAPforSeniors is an information and technology company that specializes in the collection and publishing of high-quality, current and comprehensive data on licensed professionals and senior serving organizations in the U.S. Founded in early 2005, the company began by developing the first and only data system of its kind to accumulate, standardize and publish detailed profile information on more than 60,000 senior housing facilities. That database and the associated search tools are now featured on the websites of more than 50 national organizations, collectively serving 9 million consumers a month. In late 2008, the company began expanding the collection and profiling of its national database to include other provider types beyond senior housing using the same quality and data standards. Today, the company manages the largest national provider network of senior serving professionals in the country, covering more than 20 different classes of local community resource professionals and organizations. In early 2010, SNAPforSeniors began collaborating with Univita Health on the development of the first national preferred provider network based on quality indicators and negotiated rates for assisted living, home care, durable medical equipment, adult day care and home monitoring services. The launch of the program is scheduled for summer 2010.

SNAPforSeniors’ partners and licensees include many of the largest and most respected organizations serving seniors in America today including the Alzheimer’s Association, National Association for Area Agencies on Aging, the National Council on Aging, URAC, Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers, the American College of Health Care Administrators, the Case Management Society of America, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, Society of Certified Senior Advisors and the National Association of Senior Move Managers. Our service platform works with clients in three major categories:

Commercial Licensees: For-profit commercial organizations that wish to source the best and most current information on providers in key categories for internal or consumer-facing use can license our data through a data licensing agreement. We offer hosting and website development for major commercial portal partners as well. Examples of leading reputable organizations using SNAPforSeniors provider data with their call center operations for sourcing and screening local resources include Ceridian (the largest employee assistance program in the US) and Univita Health (a leading third party administrator for 45 long term care insurance companies serving over 48,000 beneficiaries).

Website publishers: Website owners that wish to integrate high-quality provider data into their website can access SNAPforSeniors data in several ways including direct licensing, partnered licensing or affiliate co-branding. Examples of companies integrating and private labeling SNAPforSeniors information are National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (Senior Housing Locator) and Waterfront Media/Everyday Health (Revolution Health Senior Housing Locator).

Agencies/Organizations: Our not-for-profit and government partners qualify for special use licenses and publishing programs. An example of a national voluntary health organization using our data is the Alzheimer’s Association (Senior Housing Finder).

SNAPforSeniors manages numerous large-scale commercial web portals with data licenses on its enterprise platform. Whether a partner is large or small, SNAPforSeniors’ team is dedicated to their success and delivery of high-quality relevant information to consumers and professionals.

SNAPforSeniors’ mission has been to deliver quality, tailored information to empower families and their advocates to make better choices for senior transitional care and services. Today our operations encompass a broad array of data gathering, profiling and provider quality metrics gathering initiatives. We have built and manage a complex process of vetting and data validation as well as trusted source management for more than 500 unique sources of provider licensing and verification.
