App Helps Seniors Locate Retirement Resources: Free iTunes app grants instant access to a database of over 30,000+ care facilities

VANCOUVER (Sept 17, 2012) – Available free of charge, the Retirement Home Finder Free application has just been released via iTunes.  Equipped with a simple-to-use interface, it can locate region-specific services for seniors with the tap of a finger. With bright, easy-to-read menus, this intuitively designed app allows anyone to instantly search for retirement homes homes, assisted living facilities, and Alzheimer’s care facilities in any area throughout North America.

The Retirement Home Finder’s searchable database currently includes over 30,000+ retirement resources across Canada and the United States. Cross-reference a search with your current location, and you’ll receive maps of the most direct route to your destination. The RHF app also includes up-to-date contact information for all listed resources, allowing you to easily call any facility simply by tapping a few tabs. If you’re helping a friend of family member, the Retirement Home Finder can share your search results instantly – so your father, mother, or grandparent can begin receiving information without delay.

When assessing the quality of a retirement home or care facility, older methods are no longer a reliable strategy to receive the most current information. Newspapers, newsletters, and word-of-mouth cannot match the quantity, quality, and immediacy of information retrieved via online services. The Retirement Home Finder is the senior’s tool of choice in the 21st century.

Specializing in mobile application technology, Laughing Bean Media is located in Vancouver, Canada. Their mission is to design programs which simplify and facilitate the user’s ability to locate resources, retrieve navigational information, and facilitate the flow of up-to-date information.
