You may be wondering, “Why would I ever use a senior placement service? I don’t want to leave my house.”
The truth is, many of us who work for senior placement services agree: We want you to stay at home as long as possible, if that’s what you want AND if it’s safe for you to do so!
If you’re no longer safe or no longer wish to be at home, the good news is that senior living specialists can help. Not only do we know all the senior living options in the area, but we have excellent resources with other professionals who also serve seniors. We can direct you to realtors, estate planners, medicare specialists, caregivers and more, while also helping you plan for your future housing or care needs.
When you are ready to consider senior living, a placement specialist will learn about your lifestyle and preferences. We match you with personalized options that work for your budget and the level of care you need. Through our relationships with senior living communities, we know about any special rates, if they have availability, etc. It’s good to reach out early so we can create your custom plan.
From financial considerations to safety issues, I hope you enjoy this insight into how senior placement agencies can ease the process and help you to make informed decisions.
