This new site leverages A Place for Mom’s expertise in meeting family needs across home care and senior living. However, the new platform differs from A Place for Mom’s traditional advisory business in that the site is designed to be a self-directed experience for families looking for skilled care, with everything they need at their fingertips to connect with facilities quickly.
“In working with families, we found a significant gap in being able to identify and evaluate short-term and long-term skilled facilities under a tight timeline. Our new offering will much more effectively provide families with the information they need to make confident skilled care decisions with greater peace of mind,” said Miho Jacobs, General Manager of NursingHomes.com and Chief Corporate Development Officer at A Place for Mom. “At the same time, we have heard loud and clear that SNFs have struggled to effectively reach families, and our new directory will help families and facilities come together while also providing hospitals with a new robust resource for their patients.”
The directory has been built to serve the 15,000 Skilled Nursing Facilities that, until now, didn’t have the opportunity to properly feature the right differentiating information about their facilities.
The directory is also an important resource for care management teams at healthcare systems and hospitals across the country. “Now patients will be able to more easily navigate the process of researching, comparing, and contacting skilled facilities all within one comprehensive tool,” said James Thorman, SVP and General Manager of A Place for Mom’s Healthcare and Home Care business.
For a limited time, NursingHomes.com is offering Skilled Nursing Facilities a free trial of its Premium Profile subscription, with 300 skilled facilities already signed up. For facilities interested in maintaining the Premium Profile level after the trial, a subscription will be offered for a fee. For more information about becoming a Premier partner, please contact [email protected].

With 89% of women entrepreneurs feeling like the odds are against them and less than 1% of corporate spending going to women-owned businesses, awareness wasn’t enough.
“The greatest need of many small women-led businesses is funding. Some of the most lucrative deals out there are grants and supplier contracts from corporations and the government, but many require a woman-owned business certification. If you don’t have the proper resources to get certified, you’ll never have the chance to be considered for these life-changing opportunities.” says HerHeadquarters founder, Carina Glover. “This is about leveling the playing field among women entrepreneurs as a whole, so businesswomen who want the opportunity can have it.”
Applications are now open and processing begins on September 20. To be eligible, businesses must be at least 51% owned by a woman who is a U.S. citizen or legal resident.
The start of this initiative comes one month into HerHeadquarters SOS 15% Pledge, a mission to increase the amount of spend that goes to women-owned businesses by 15% over the next 10 years. Part of fulfilling this mission is introducing a credible certification that’s more accessible to women entrepreneurs with limited resources.
“A broken system can’t fix itself, sometimes you need a new system, with new allies, and that’s what we’ve created,” concluded Glover.

“We believe financial inclusion is not a privilege but a fundamental right. And we know access to financial literacy is critical to economic mobility for the underserved. We want to dismantle barriers to resources that can transform lives,” said Aequalend CEO and Co-Founder Marc Hernandez. “By leveraging cutting-edge technology, embracing diversity, facilitating knowledge and maintaining an unwavering commitment to our mission, Aequalend is poised to redefine financial inclusion in the United States.”
The TIAA Institute-GFLEC Personal Finance Index, an annual study that assesses financial literacy among U.S. adults, reports significantly lower financial literacy rates among Hispanic and Black Americans, who correctly answered 6% and 7% of P-Fin Index questions, respectively. White and Asian Americans correctly answered 24% and 23% of the questions, respectively. Additionally, financial literacy rates are declining with each generation, which only compounds the financial challenges Gen Z faces.
“As minorities ourselves, we’ve witnessed the struggles that result from the inclusion gap firsthand – both amongst our families and our customers,” said Aequalend President and Co-Founder Sandra Estrella. “Not only is there a lack of affordable, accessible and culturally competent financial products to meet these consumers’ needs, they’re already behind from birth and very rarely catch up because they lack financial literacy. And a lack of financial literacy in the U.S. isn’t unique to minorities; it’s a major issue that’s also currently impacting Gen Z across all races and ethnicities. We want to make a difference.”
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
The nation is witnessing the intersection of finance and technology, as well as a surge in minority entrepreneurs, families and individuals looking to shape their financial destinies. These factors are transforming the way people manage their money, access credit, invest and make payments – democratizing access to previously exclusive financial services. With a focus on financial inclusion, innovation and community empowerment, as well as a commitment to transparency, Aequalend is well-positioned to make a lasting difference in the lives of the individuals and communities it supports.
Hernandez and Estrella have a combined 40 years of financial services experience with a focus on helping minorities purchase homes. Aequalend’s team brings vast experience in finance, technology and community development, as well as a profound grasp of compliance requirements, to the table. The company currently serves residents in Texas, Georgia, Colorado, Florida and Washington, D.C., and plans to expand its operations across the U.S. in the coming months.
As it grows its national presence, Aequalend is also looking to grow its team with associates who share its vision for a more equitable financial future in the U.S. and an undivided approach to finance.
About Aequalend
Aequalend (pronounced eh-KWUH-lend) is a minority-owned fintech company seeking to revolutionize the financial services industry by addressing financial exclusion in the U.S. With a focus on innovative technology, affordable financial solutions and financial literacy education, the company’s mission is to help close the financial wealth gap and build generational wealth within underserved populations across America.
