Tennessee Tornadoes Spur Senior Move Managers to Aid Elderly in Crisis

The Senior Housing Locator is a navigation tool that allows move managers and their clients to search a current national database of 60,000-plus senior housing facilities by categories such as geographic location, facility name or license type. Using a new mapping tool enabled by SNAPforSeniors through the NASMM Senior Housing Locator, NASMM members can quickly map every facility by distance and license type to speed the search for appropriate placement in a se
