At Cadence Senior Living Consulting, we strive to make it easier for families and their loved ones to make informed decisions regarding independent living, assisted living, or memory care options, especially for those dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia. If staying home is a safe choice, we also offer assistance with in-home services.
We handle all of the research and legwork necessary to help families navigate the complex process of finding the right placement that meets their needs and lifestyle. This service is provided at no cost to you.
Benefits of Senior Placement at no direct cost to you / the family (our fee is covered by senior living facilities). We do all the legwork in this complicated process, from researching places and reviewing their state certifications, to touring them with you.
Each family is unique, so we take the time to sit down with you and pinpoint situational needs. This conversation is very detailed, covering everything from your loved ones’ daily care needs to long-term finances. Then we narrow down the options for independent living, assisted living, skilled care or memory care to two or three choices and set up a tour. We act as your advocate and do not just pass your name onto senior care facilities. After the move, we stay in touch for several months to make sure they are happy.
