As seniors age and their needs change, families find themselves looking for options, including new senior living options. The problem is often that there are so many options that the situation quickly starts to feel too big. Independent living senior placement services are experts in locating the right fit between senior living communities and the seniors they service.
Here are some of the ways that placement professionals help families and seniors plan for future needs:
Needs Assessments
Often the biggest problem for families who want to plan for their senior’s future is that they don’t really know or understand what their senior needs most. Independent living senior placement services are able to assess what aging adults need. They can also combine those needs with factors like health conditions, lifestyle, and preferences to get a full picture of what will best suit the senior in question.
Customized Recommendations
After a thorough needs assessment, senior placement professionals are able to offer customized recommendations that match up. This saves families an immense amount of time and energy sifting through tons of different options looking for the right one. They have a much smaller list, with options that are truly tailored to help.
Tour Arrangements
Families can look at all sorts of pictures and read all the descriptions, but it’s always better to tour the facilities in question whenever possible. Senior placement professionals are able to coordinate and schedule tours for family caregivers so that they can get a real feel for different senior living communities. Making tours easier and more convenient ensures that families get to make the best decision possible.
Narrowing Down the Choices
Even with customized recommendations, there are often a lot more options available than families realize. That can leave family caregivers feeling overwhelmed and worried about making the wrong choice. Senior placement professionals are able to help families to narrow down a large pool of options to just a few.
Local Experience and Expertise
Very often family caregivers don’t live in the same areas their seniors want or need to live in going forward. That means that they may not have as much information as they want to have about senior living options in that area. Senior placement services have that local expertise that helps to bridge the gap for families.
Emotional Support and Advocacy
Moving a senior into an assisted living community or other types of senior living facility can be incredibly emotional for families. Placement specialists are able to offer compassionate guidance and support throughout the decision-making process. Placement specialists also serve as advocates for the seniors needing care, ensuring that the care solution ultimately meets their needs.
Working with senior placement professionals ensures that families of aging adults have as much peace of mind about the process as they possibly can. There are tons of big and small decisions that have to be made along the way, and having expert guidance allows families to navigate the complex process of finding the perfect living situation for the people they love.

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.
