Are you finding that your parents or loved one is getting a bit overwhelmed having to take care of their large home? Or maybe they can’t navigate the stairs anymore and you are afraid of them falling? Have you found yourself thinking an assisted living community would be a better fit for them but don’t want to have that difficult conversation? Maybe you are overwhelmed with all the choices of communities in the Sacramento area and confused of which one would be the best for your loved one?
Luckily, you can call on an elder care referral agency to help you find a place for your parents or family members. But how do you find a good one? The referral industry is mostly unregulated and as with any industry, there are some bad eggs out there. Ask around and you’ll hear stories of families taken advantage of by agencies that made referrals based on financial incentives they never disclosed. Thankfully there are honest agencies like Passionate Senior Placement in the Sacramento, CA area that are dedicated to help each senior find their perfect home.
How Do You Choose the Right Referral Agency?
When finding the right elder care referral agency, you will want to find one who has high integrity and puts your loved ones interest and requirements first. PSP recommends you ask these questions to a referral agency you are considering.
1. What are your credentials and experience?
2. How do you select the communities you refer?
3. Do you prefer certain communities over others?
4. What is your working relationship with the communities? How often to do you visit them?
5. How long have you worked with the communities you refer?
6. Are there communities you do not refer and why?
7. How do you qualify a senior before you send them a community’s information
8. How much time do you spend with the Senior during the process?
9. Do you tour the communities with the senior and/or their families?
10. Where do most of your clients find out about your company?
