RoomsInView

Owner guide

Set up your home on RoomsInView

About 15 minutes. You'll sign in with your email (no password), take over your home's listing, and add your rooms, prices, photos and team so families can see real information.

Have these ready

  • The email address you want to use for RoomsInView
  • Your 9-digit CDSS license number (on your facility license)
  • Your monthly prices for each room type, and any care add-on fees
  • A few photos from your phone: the outside, the living areas and each room (no residents in the pictures)
  • Optional: a photo and a few words about each staff member who agreed to be shown

1. Sign in and take over your listing

Your home is already listed on RoomsInView from its state license record. There are two ways to take it over. Use A if RoomsInView emailed you an invite, otherwise use B.

  1. A1Open the invite email and sign in

    The email comes from hello@roomsinview.com with the subject “Your RoomsInView listing for [your home] is ready for you”. The link works for 14 days.

  2. A2Take over your listing

    After you enter your sign-in code (see B2 and B3 below), you come back to this page.
