What Are Senior Placement Agencies?

You may have heard the term before but may be unfamiliar with what a placement agency does. A senior placement agency aims to match seniors with senior care homes according to the senior’s specialized needs and the services that the facility offers. A senior placement agency can also be known as a referral agency for the elderly, or placement agency for elderly.

Senior placement agencies will help you find out what your senior loved ones need, and in turn, match your loved one’s needs to a senior care home that can provide and meet those needs. When you contact an agency to help you find a senior care home, the agency may ask you a few questions concerning your loved one’s condition and special needs. This may include questions to do with your senior loved one’s:

  • Medical History: Knowledge of conditions such as diabetes, disease, Parkinson’s disease, etc. will help the agency understand your loved one’s current health and condition
  • Medication: Any necessary medications and doses to inform caretakers concerning medication management  
  • Allergies, Dietary Needs and Restrictions: Allergies to nuts, dairy, shellfish, or other foods. Dietary restrictions and needs such as vegetarian or vegan foods, or diets influenced by religious restrictions.
  • Religious and cultural preferences: If your loved one practices a certain faith and prefers to be in a faith-based community, or in a cultural community where residents are of the same cultural background.
  • Budget and financial needs: Placement agencies will be mindful if families or senior loved ones are adhering to certain budget or financial restrictions
  • Preferred Location: Agencies will need to note if families and their senior loved ones prefer to remain close in proximity in a chosen region.
  • Personal services needed: If the senior loved one needs assistance in daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, etc., or have other needs such as memory care nursing.
  • Preferred size of housing and number of residents: For agencies to keep in mind if families or their loved ones want to be in a smaller, larger, or medium-sized housing facility with a certain number of residents in the community.

 

 

 

 

A Senior Placement Agency with Heart

There are plenty of placement agencies for seniors that are willing to place your loved one in a senior home. However, many times these placement agencies can get it wrong if their priority is not on the family and providing the best care for the senior. A referral agency for elderly communities can also provide this matchmaking service for free, but may not provide the best quality service if the agency is more concerned with quantity over quality. Senior Care Center makes families and the satisfaction of their loved ones the number one priority of our service. Our desire is to give you the best personalized service through our one-on-one Senior Care Advisor consultations. Our advisors will put your mind at ease as we help you through each step, answering any questions and concerns you have. Senior Care Center focuses on helping you find the perfect place for your loved one to call home and for you to feel confident in knowing your loved one will be safe, happy, and healthy.

Tanya writes:

“I’m really happy with my consultation. I came in feeling totally overwhelmed and knocked over by trying to find my mom a place with memory care. She’s been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and for the past 3 years, my brother and I have been taking turns being her caretaker. It’s been taking its toll on my health and finally, we both decided that it was time to give mom a better place to stay. We called Senior Care Center and I am so happy we did. It took a huge weight off our shoulders and my brother found a place through Senior Care Center quickly. Mom is doing well and we’re at peace knowing she’s being taken care of by the right place.”
