How Senior Placement Agencies Work
From around-the-clock nursing facilities to luxury independent senior living communities, there’s an extremely wide spectrum of options to consider when it comes to senior care. Whether you’re a senior looking for a new place to call home or a family member searching for a safe, comfortable facility for your elderly loved one, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the multitude of care options available. There are so many factors to consider in the decision-making process, including health, budget, location, and more.
Thankfully, you don’t have to take on the challenge alone. Professional senior placement agencies have the expertise and resources to help you in all stages of the selection process, including finding suitable homes and completing placement paperwork.
What is a Senior Placement Agency?
A senior placement agency provides placement services specifically tailored to meet the needs of seniors in need of an appropriate residence. The agency may work directly with seniors or together with the senior’s family, evaluating their specific situation to determine a community or facility that is the best fit.
Like any type of agency or business, senior placement agencies can vary considerably in their quality, professionalism, and integrity. For that reason, it’s extremely important to look into the background of any agency you’re considering, including asking for references or testimonials. Ideally, the agency’s leadership will have demonstrated experience in senior care and a passion for helping the elderly community.
What Are Senior Care Consultants and How Do They Help?
First, a senior care consultant will meet one-on-one with the senior (and their family, if desired) to discuss their living preferences, medical needs, budget, and desired location. Using those details, the consultant is able to provide expert recommendations for living and care arrangements, including one or more of the following:
-
Independent senior living communities
-
Assisted living
-
Memory care
-
Nursing care
-
Hospice care
​
Many senior placement agencies also offer emergency placement services for families facing unexpected life circumstances such as the death of a spouse or caregiver, a change in finances, dissatisfaction with or an incident at a current care facility, and many other situations.
How Much Do Senior Placement Services Cost?
Though some senior placement services may request a “placement fee” or other form of payment, there are many excellent agencies that provide their services completely free of charge, like MKR Senior Living Advisors.
Generally, these agencies do receive compensation from the various communities or facilities they may refer clients to. However, a trustworthy agency does not operate under any contracts or agreements with the facilities, and instead focuses entirely on the best interests of their client.
