How do I get exposure for a new business?

Just started WeVisit4U.LLc. The purpose of the company is to visit residents of long term facilities in Florida whose relatives live too distant to visit on a regular basis. What are your perceptions of the idea and how would you market it?

For starters, I think you need a new name. That name sounds like a sleazy nightclub. You need a trustworthy, caring name like "Forever Connections" or something.

What do you provide in terms of services? Video? Phone calls? Pictures? A guarantee of the same person visiting the loved one on a consistent basis? What's the reason -- because I want my family member to have regular visits, because I want to check they're being taken care of properly, etc.? Do you have insurance in case an elderly person is being abused and you do not know/report it?

The most logical place to market services would be through the homes themselves. You could give them a cut of the fees in exchange for referring you to residents' families. You might also check for support groups for family members with loved ones in a home.
