If you choose to conduct your research, be prepared to wade through a mountain of unfamiliar data that you will need to assess independently. This is the number one source of tension in most households. Employing the services of a senior living consultant makes things simpler. An expert Senior Advocate can spare you the time and effort of compiling a list of available facilities because they have already done so. They will then will conduct a brief interview to determine your specific requirements and then provide you with a list of two or three senior living facilities that best meet those requirements. This will spare you the trouble and inconvenience of conducting your research.
Your family is supported by Senior Care Advocate and will have a list of questions to ask at your first meeting. They would need some basic information to place you in the best facility. An Advocate will likely inquire about your (or a loved one’s) medical background, allergies, and dietary restrictions. Additionally, you will be asked if you would like to receive services that can aid with personal needs such as bathing, dressing, and other assistance with activities of daily living. People in their golden years typically want to be close to their social networks. Senior Advocates at Passionate Senior Placement take this into account when making their suggestions. Last but not least, they respect people of varying religious and cultural backgrounds. They will listen to your concerns, ask you questions, and then schedule a tour of the facility with you after they have carefully considered your options based on your conversation or interview. A visit will help you decide if the facility is suitable for your loved one.
A Senior Care Advocate will work with you until you have settled on a location and are ready to make the move. Consultants for senior living communities often know the area well enough to help with relocation, making the transition easier for your elderly loved one. Your Advocate will check in with you after you’ve settled into your new senior living location to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. Financial concerns are another area in which senior living consultants can help, assist, and advise you. The cost of facilities is high, but your consultant will do their best to find a solution that works within your budget. Most consultants are happy to take on the potentially stressful task of contacting your insurance company to clarify what services are and are not covered. This is crucial information for determining which facility is within your price range.
