What is Senior Placement in general?
Senior Placement is a senior housing referral service whether you are looking for a small or large assisted living facility, adult family home, retirement community, nursing home, memory care homes or units, board and care homes, etc. A senior placement or referral agency will help you choose the right senior living facility for your loved one. Some of them will offer care management services, where they will continue to check on your loved one monthly for a fee. Most of the senior placement agencies services are free to you, but then you wonder how is this possible....nobody works for free.
The retirement homes contract with the senior placement agencies, where the placement agency will receive a fee for each senior that will be placed successfully in any of the contracted retirement home. That is why is considered a FREE service to you.
There are advantages by using a senior placement agency. You will be guided by experienced people in the field and instructed in what to look for, questions to ask, and the differences between each type of accommodation. A senior placement agency check regularly each senior care community that is contracted with to make sure that they maintain an active license. You will be referred only to licensed facilities. |
