Transitioning an elderly family member to an independent living senior facility is a big step for families. No matter why that change is happening, it’s vital to find the right independent living senior facility. It’s often overwhelming for families to sort through health needs, safety concerns, and more while also balancing care for the person they love. Independent living senior placement services are able to step in and help determine the best location for aging adults based on their individual needs.
Accessibility
Location always matters, especially when families are looking for a new home for their aging adults. The best location is going to be one that is easily accessible for family members, friends, and medical professionals alike. When seniors don’t have to choose between their existing support network and their new home, that’s a better fit overall.
Levels of Care Offered
Senior living facilities often offer a variety of different types of care. The first step is assessing what levels of care are needed both now and in the future. From there, it’s important to compare that information to the types of care offered by potential senior living facilities. Some facilities offer a continuum of care, which means that seniors are able to smoothly transition from one level of care to another at the same facility.
Amenities
Seniors need to be able to access amenities that enrich their lives and support their needs. The right senior living facility should offer a variety of different types of amenities that simplify life. For instance, they may have rooms with kitchens but also offer family-style dining in a dining room with other residents. This allows seniors to have the best of both worlds.
Activities
Activities are also a part of the enrichment seniors need. Families might be interested in options such as fitness classes, ongoing social events, classes, experiences, and more. These types of events and opportunities keep seniors socially and mentally engaged, which is crucial for overall well-being. Facilities that have a lot of different types of activities can be a great choice for seniors who want to stay active and meet plenty of new people.
Safety and Security
Safety is another huge concern for families. Many senior living facilities offer a range of different safety and security options like 24/7 staff presence, emergency response systems in rooms, and a fenced-in property. Well-lit common areas, accessible hallways, and safety features in both common areas as well as rooms are also important.
Feedback from Residents
It’s also important to understand how existing residents feel about the community they’re living in. Getting feedback from other residents offers valuable insight into what daily life might really be like in a given senior living facility. Hearing these accounts can help seniors and families to make an informed decision about such an important choice.
Selecting the right senior living facility is so much easier when families have all the right information. Independent living senior placement services have the expertise to help families find the best living arrangements for their family members without having to waste a lot of time and energy figuring it all out from scratch.

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.
