Specialist Marketing for the Elder Care Ecosystem
Growing the businesses and practices that serve aging America
Silver Shield Media works exclusively with businesses in the elder care ecosystem. We understand the weight of the decisions your clients are navigating — because we have walked that path ourselves. That lived experience shapes everything we do.

Our Ecosystem
Built for the businesses that care for aging America
We don't work across every industry. We work within one: the interconnected ecosystem of businesses and practices that serve older Americans and the families who love them.
That focus means we understand your world in ways a generalist agency never could — the occupancy pressures in assisted living, the sensitivity required in funeral services, the referral dynamics in elder law, the lifetime value of a hearing aid patient. We know your clients' journey because those are journeys we have made ourselves.
From assisted living and home health to estate planning and audiology, we understand the commercial realities, the regulatory sensitivities, and the emotional weight of the services you provide.
The businesses in our network know each other. As publishers of HeritageCareNetwork.com, we sit at the centre of that network — and so do our clients.
Every campaign we create reflects the profound decisions families are navigating — warm, trustworthy, and dignified. Never aggressive. Never exploitative.

Why It Matters
Every missed call is a family you couldn't help — and revenue your practice cannot recover
Most practices in the elder care ecosystem are built on referrals, reputation, and relationships. Marketing has traditionally been an afterthought. That's changing — and the practices that adapt will grow while those that don't will lose ground to better-marketed competitors.
You're invisible when it matters most
When a family starts searching for an assisted living facility, an elder law attorney, or a hearing specialist, they search online first. If your practice doesn't appear — or appears below a better-presented competitor — that enquiry is gone before you ever knew it existed.
Enquiries arrive at the worst moments
A family calls at 9pm because their mother has just had a fall. A funeral home is needed this weekend. If no one answers — or if the voicemail isn't followed up promptly — you lose the client. Permanently.
You don't have time to become a marketer
Running a care facility, a law practice, or a clinical service is a full-time job. Learning Meta advertising, managing campaigns, and following up on leads is another. Most practice owners know they should be doing more. Very few have the bandwidth.
What We Do
Two services. Focused on the outcomes that matter.
We offer two services, each addressing a specific and measurable revenue problem. They work independently or powerfully together.
Lead Generation & Client Acquisition
We design and manage targeted advertising campaigns on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) that put your practice in front of people actively searching for the services you provide. You provide the budget — it goes directly to Meta, under your control and in your name. We provide the strategy, the creative, the campaign management, and the reporting.
What's Included
- Campaign strategy tailored to your practice and location
- Ad creative designed for the elder care audience
- Landing page setup and optimisation
- Lead capture and appointment booking integration
- Monthly performance reporting with plain-English commentary
AI Receptionist — 24/7 Enquiry Capture
An AI-powered voice receptionist that answers every call, at any hour, with the warmth and professionalism of a trained member of your team. It captures contact details, answers common questions, and schedules appointments in real time — then hands off to your staff with a complete record of the conversation.
What's Included
- Custom AI voice receptionist trained on your practice
- Natural conversation flow tailored to your enquiry types
- Real-time appointment booking integration
- Call transcripts and follow-up summaries delivered to your team
- After-hours and overflow call handling
Our Process
How we work together
Discovery Call
We begin with a no-pressure conversation about your practice — your situation, your goals, the challenges you're facing, and what success would look like for you.
Strategy & Setup
If we agree to work together, we develop a tailored strategy and handle all technical setup — campaign architecture, landing pages, AI receptionist configuration.
Launch & Learn
We launch your campaigns and AI receptionist, then monitor performance closely. We optimise early and often, applying what the data tells us to improve results quickly.
Ongoing Management
Every month you receive a clear report: what we did, what it produced, and what we're doing next. We speak in plain terms. You always know exactly where things stand.
Our Difference
Why elder care practices choose to work with us
We only work in elder care
We turned down every other industry to focus exclusively on the businesses that serve older Americans. Every insight, every strategy, every piece of creative we produce is built on deep, specific knowledge of your world — not adapted from work we did for a roofing contractor last month.
Lived experience, not just professional knowledge
Our team has navigated the journey that many of your clients' families are taking — the care decisions, the legal arrangements, the end-of-life planning. That personal understanding shapes how we think about your marketing.
Full transparency on your advertising spend
Your advertising budget goes directly to Meta — under your control, in your name, from your account. We don't take a margin on your ad spend. You always see exactly where every dollar goes.
Part of a trusted network
As publishers of HeritageCareNetwork.com — the directory connecting families with vetted elder care providers — our clients benefit from directory visibility, cross-referral opportunities, and a community of complementary practitioners.
You're never locked in
We earn your business every month. Our engagements are structured around delivering results, not long-term contracts designed to make it difficult to leave. If we're not delivering meaningful growth, you should be free to say so.
Selective about who we work with
We typically take on two to three new clients per month to ensure every client receives the attention their practice deserves. We don't simply sell services — we build long-term partnerships with practices we believe we can genuinely help.
We had tried two other agencies before Silver Shield Media. Neither understood what it meant to market an assisted living facility — the sensitivity required, the family dynamics, the occupancy pressure. Within three months of working with them, we had filled two vacancies through their campaigns and our enquiry rate had more than doubled. They get it in a way nobody else did.— Director, Assisted Living Facility, Ohio
Common Questions
Questions we're often asked
If you have a question that isn't answered here, please ask us on your discovery call. We believe in plain answers and full transparency.
Schedule a Call →Our clients are US-based, as that is where the elder care market we understand best is located. We operate remotely and have no geographic restrictions on where our team works from.
This depends on your category and location, but as a general guide we recommend a minimum of $1,500 per month in ad spend for lead generation campaigns to generate meaningful data and results. We'll discuss what's realistic for your situation on our discovery call.
Lead generation campaigns typically require four to six weeks to optimise fully. You will often see early enquiries within the first two weeks. The AI receptionist is operational from day one of setup.
Directory listings generate passive enquiries from people who are already searching. Active advertising creates demand from people who haven't yet started searching — or who haven't found you yet. The two approaches complement each other powerfully.
Not necessarily. We can build a dedicated landing page for your campaigns if needed. A full website is beneficial for long-term SEO but is not a requirement to start generating leads.
Voicemail creates friction — many callers won't leave a message. Our AI receptionist has a natural conversation, captures full contact details, answers common questions, and books appointments in real time. It behaves like a professional member of your front-of-house team, available at any hour.
Yes. Both services are available independently. Many clients start with the AI receptionist — it delivers immediate, measurable value — and add lead generation once they have their intake process operating smoothly.
We'll be transparent about this on your discovery call once we understand your practice and needs. Our fees vary by service and scope. What we can say is that for most practices in elder care, a single additional client per month more than covers the cost of working with us.
Get Started
Let's talk about your business
Schedule a no-obligation discovery call. We'll take the time to understand your situation, share what we've seen work for businesses like yours, and be honest with you about whether and how we can help.
We don't do high-pressure sales calls. If we're not a good fit for each other, we'll tell you — and we'll try to point you in the right direction regardless.
We typically take on two to three new clients per month. If you're considering reaching out, we'd encourage you to do so while we have capacity.
