Referral Disclosure

This is placeholder draft content prepared for staging review only. It has not been approved by counsel and must not be published or relied upon as a final disclosure. See LEGAL_LAUNCH_GATES.md for the full pre-launch checklist.

What this page is — and isn’t

This public page is meant to give visitors a general, plain-language explanation of how Senior Home Connections is paid and how referrals work. It is not the individualized, written disclosure Texas Business & Commerce Code §121.002 requires at the time of an actual referral to a specific home. That statutory disclosure is a separate, per-family document delivered as part of the actual placement process — this page cannot substitute for it.

What the general explanation will need to cover, once approved

1. A description of what Senior Home Connections’ service actually includes.
2. Whether the family or the residential care home is responsible for any referral fee under our arrangement.
3. That a family may stop working with Senior Home Connections at any time, without cost or penalty.
4. That the homes we discuss with a family may not include every home in the area that could meet their stated preferences and needs.
5. Plain language about the planned future residential care home (“Cardinal House”) that the founders intend to open — including that it is not currently open, licensed, or available for referral, and a clear explanation of how any future ownership interest will be handled so it does not create a referral conflict. Texas law prohibits a referral agency from referring a consumer to a community in which the agency has an ownership, management, or financial interest — this needs specific legal structuring, not just a disclosure sentence, before any such referral could ever occur.

Why this is gated

Chapter 121 is specific about what the individualized disclosure must contain and about restrictions tied to ownership conflicts. An attorney needs to confirm the agency’s actual compensation structure, referral workflow, and any future-ownership safeguards before either this general page or the per-family statutory document can be finalized.
