When it’s time to consider moving to a long-term care community, it can feel overwhelming to even begin—much less to find the perfect new home for a senior family member.

Luckily, there are dedicated agencies out there who have the knowledge, expertise, and compassion to support your family during this transition.

Here are four invaluable ways that senior housing placement agencies can help you and your loved ones.

1. Understanding your needs

No two people are just alike, and neither are their needs when it comes to finding a new long-term care community. Placement agencies are familiar with many different situations and the most common needs, and they’re ready to help you find the option that works best for you.

2. Handling the research

If you’re not sure what you’re looking for or every choice is starting to sound the same, a placement agency can help you understand the benefits of each one. They’ll do all the legwork to show you which options to consider so you can make an informed decision about which to choose.

3. Making a perfect match

Whether you need to find an assisted living facility, nursing home, memory care community, or other long-term care option, placement agencies are well-versed in the available choices and eager to match you with the right one. Both local agencies and national networks can help you find the right community no matter what part of the country you’re looking in.

4. Supporting the transition

Placement agencies are experts at navigating the transition to a long-term care community. From touring communities, navigating the application and move-in processes, and ensuring your loved one settles in well in their new home.
