Why Families Choose Us
We offer key advantages over both national referral services and local competitors.
National franchises and online databases can't match the personalized, on-the-ground support of a dedicated local partner. Here’s how we’re different.
"We’re not just a referral service; we’re your in-person support guide and advocate by your side every step of the way so you can make confident, well-informed decisions."
Our Core Values & Promise:
Our brand promise. A dedicated CareMATRIX advisor is physically present on 100% of community tours. Guaranteed.
Integrity, Compassion, Empathy, Expertise and CARE. These principles guide everything we do.
Communication: We promise to be responsive, transparent communicators, so you’re never left waiting or wondering.
True Local Expertise
Unlike national franchises, we are locally owned and live here, providing local expertise exclusively to Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, knowing the communities inside and out, the staff, the culture, and the quality of care.
Personalized Matching
With CareMATRIX, you save time with vetted, right fit matches not long lists; we do the research for YOU, matching you to communities right the first time, joining EVERY tour and supporting you every step as your advocate.
100% Free & Unbiased
Our service is free for families with no hidden charges; every recommendation is based on needs, values and fit not commissions, and CareMATRIX receives only a modest referral fee from the community your family moves into.
"Harley at CareMATRIX was fantastic at helping me find a place for my wife on very short notice."
My wife is an insulin dependent brutal diabetic with dementia who was being evicted by her current care facility. Harley showed me a number of options I didn’t know existed. He accompanied me on all my visits to potential facilities over a two week period. He visited my wife and the staff at her then current facility to understand her situation and needs. He ultimately guided me to the perfect facility for my wife’s needs and she is now thriving there.

Client Success Story
"We used Care Matrix to help us find an assisted living facility for our mother."
We had no idea where to start and they helped us navigate our journey through the process. They set up appointments to tour different facilities that matched our needs. Helped us ask questions about the different facilities. We were happy that they were there for us and help us get into the right place for our mother.

Client Success Story
We used CareMatrix recently to find a facility with Memory Care for my sister. Harley was amazing! He took us to three facilities to tour on one day as our time was limited.
Theresa & Jean are wonderful! They go the extra mile to help find the right fit for the family and they treat you like you are their family!
Harley was exceptional to work with every time I needed his guidance in finding a place for my brother. I would highly recommend their business.
Teresa was SO helpful in finding care for our father within a matter of a few days! We are so thankful for her during that time and she is so compassionate. Thank you Teresa!!

Jean is so focused on helping you find the ideal option. Very compassionate and helpful!
