Our process is simple and stress-free:

Tours & Evaluations: We help arrange and guide you through community visits.

Yes! Our placement services are completely free for seniors and their families. We are funded by senior living communities, meaning you receive expert guidance at no cost to you.
We assist:
✔Seniors seeking independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing options.
✔Families who are unsure about which senior living option is best for their loved one.
✔Healthcare professionals looking for placement assistance for a patient or client.
There are several types of senior care, depending on the level of assistance needed:
Independent Living: For active seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with social activities and amenities but no daily care.
Assisted Living: For seniors who need help with daily tasks (bathing, dressing, medication management) but want to maintain independence.
Memory Care: A secure environment with specialized care for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Skilled Nursing (Nursing Homes): 24/7 medical care for seniors with serious health conditions or rehabilitation needs.
Our team will assess your loved one’s health, daily living needs, lifestyle preferences, and budget to recommend the best options. Some key factors to consider include:
✔Medical conditions and care requirements.
✔Ability to perform daily activities (bathing, dressing, eating, etc.).
✔Desire for social engagement and activities.
✔Memory or cognitive health.
Costs vary depending on the level of care, location, and amenities offered. Here’s a general breakdown:
Independent Living: $2,000 – $5,000 per month
Assisted Living: $3,000 – $6,500 per month
Memory Care: $4,000 – $7,500 per month
Skilled Nursing (Nursing Homes): $7,000 – $10,000 per month
We will help you understand all costs upfront and explore financial options to make care more affordable.
- Medicare does not cover assisted living or long-term care but may cover short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation.
- Medicaid may cover nursing home care and, in some states, assisted living if financial and medical eligibility criteria are met.
Every situation is unique, but we typically help families find and secure a placement within a few days to a few weeks, depending on urgency and availability.
Absolutely! We encourage families to visit multiple communities, and we help arrange tours so you can see the facilities, meet staff, and ask questions before making a decision.
