It's Your Choice
Since every family is unique, and every
situation distinct, the consultant does not recommend one facility or option
over another - they provide you with the information and the tools you need
to make a decision that best meets your and your family's needs. To ensure
that your loved ones receive safe and high quality care, be sure to visit
and carefully interview and evaluate any potential service provider. The
consultant is available to assist you throughout your search and selection
process, but you must accept full responsibility for determining which provider
to use.
Cost
These information and referral services are provided
by NYU at no cost to you. However, you are responsible for paying any fees
charged by the provider.
