As seniors grow older, it’s more and more important to ensure that they’re as safe and as comfortable as possible at home. Unfortunately, many seniors find that they get to a point where they can’t continue to live in their own homes, even if that was the plan for many years. Senior placement specialists can help family members to sort through the options and find the right one.
Living with Family Members
For aging adults who need a little bit of care and who want to remain as close as they can to family members, it might be possible to move in with those family members. Home care providers can offer additional assistance when needed, helping this to be a successful option. This isn’t always possible, however, which is often why families look into other choices that offer more care for the people they love.
Assisted Living Communities
Assisted living communities offer aging adults a home environment and assistance with daily activities. These communities often have amenities like housekeeping help, meal preparation, and personal care assistance. Seniors who only need a little bit of help now may find that as their needs change, assisted living communities can make that adjustment along with them.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities
Continuing care retirement communities are another option, especially for seniors who anticipate that they may need a lot of help with health issues over time. These communities offer a range of care options starting with independent living solutions and shifting to assisted living and even skilled nursing care. Seniors are able to get more help without having to move, especially when they need greater assistance with medical needs.
Nursing Homes
Skilled nursing facilities, also called nursing homes, are a solid option for seniors who have complex medical needs or who need medical care around the clock. Patients in nursing homes are able to receive help with daily tasks, like bathing, while also getting medical assistance when needed. Patients might also need a nursing home temporarily in order to recover from an illness or injury.
Memory Care Communities
For seniors with cognitive illnesses, like Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, memory care communities can be a much better choice. Memory care placement services offer solutions that are designed to meet the unique needs of patients who have memory loss and other memory-related challenges. Staff at memory care communities offer both emotional support as well as specialized care and structured routines that help to keep seniors safe.
Making the right choice can be overwhelming for family members. Senior placement experts are able to meet with families and seniors who need care and explore all of the various options with them. Having someone to talk to who has a deep understanding of all of these different options saves families a great deal of time and energy while making sure that the people they love are able to get the care that they need. Senior placement professionals remove a lot of the guesswork that can make this process so overwhelming for family caregivers and seniors.

There is no greater thrill for me than walking into a room and seeing a senior’s eyes light up with true joy and excitement. I do this because I love seeing their big smiles and enjoy making each of them feel special. People often say you should do a job that you love so much it does not feel like work. I truly feel that this is my calling. There is no greater job for me than making connections with seniors and their loved ones.
I have been helping families find their loved ones the senior care that they need for more than 10 years. Their families find comfort knowing that I am always available for their call 7 days a week. They know that they can reach out to me anytime and I will take care of anything they may need.
I value the importance of checking in on and continuing to visit your loved ones even after they are placed in a community. In fact, I still visit some of the first seniors that I helped find care for nearly 10 years later. I love to take pictures with them to share with their families.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and have been living in Arizona for the last 20 years. Since moving to Arizona, I have had the opportunity to work at 3 different senior living communities in the Valley. During that time, I have been able to help over 1,000 seniors and their families. I have enjoyed meeting with each family and understanding their senior’s unique needs to ensure that their family member finds the best suited community.
In the past, I was sad that the community I worked for was not always the one they chose, but now I am excited to use my expertise to represent the seniors and help find the perfect fit for their loved ones. Therefore, I created my own placement company with a FREE no cost service so I can help guide each family I come in contact with through this process.
My goal is to make this process as easy and simple as I can. When I am not working directly with seniors, I am out touring new communities, networking with others in the industry, and volunteering in order to locate the best communities to fit each senior’s needs and budget. This helps me understand what each community has to offer and what sets them apart from the others.
I am also continuing to build my vendor contacts referral system. This allows me to provide quick solutions and abundant resources for whatever a family may need. This includes in-home care, hospital beds, durable medical equipment and much more.
