The Association of Senior Referral Professionals is a nonprofit organization that promotes ethical standards, education, and collaboration within Washington’s senior housing referral field.
A Senior Housing Advisor is a trained professional who assists families in selecting appropriate housing and care for older adults. Advisors help people understand the full range of options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, adult family homes, in-home care, hospice care, respite stays, and day programs. They guide families through needs assessments, explain levels of care, and provide informed recommendations based on safety, well-being, and individual preferences.
ASRP members are experienced in navigating complex situations, communicating with clarity and empathy, and coordinating the resources needed to support a safe and successful transition.
Senior housing decisions involve medical needs, financial considerations, and emotional transitions. ASRP members provide structure, clarity, and informed guidance.
Who We Serve
ASRP members work with a wide range of people seeking clarity on senior housing.
ASRP members support families and professionals across Washington State.
Our professionals are familiar with regional resources and the local landscape, which allows them to guide families toward options that reflect individual needs, preferences, and circumstances. This knowledge helps advisors compare communities and care settings in a way that is practical, informed, and grounded in what each area offers.
Our Commitment to Standards
ASRP members follow a clear Code of Ethics designed to protect older adults and promote transparency in referral practices. Education, peer support, and accountability are core to our mission.
Advisors who value professional growth, ethical practice, and collaboration are encouraged to join ASRP. Membership strengthens the field, improves consumer trust, and promotes best practices across the state.
