What is a Senior Care Advisor?
A senior care advisor is a specialized resource in senior living communities who serves as a personal guide to individuals and their families in navigating the complex world of senior care. Care Advisors simplify the process and can help make a smooth transition into a comfortable and stimulating senior living community.
Here are 5 reasons why you need a senior living advisor to help your family:
1. Emotions can run high.
Making decisions, sometimes fast decisions depending on your loved one’s situation can be overwhelming for family members who are emotional and stressed. Care Advisors provide information and resources to guide you through the process to help you find the right senior community based on your personal needs and preferences.
2. The service is free!
Advisors are paid a referral fee by the local senior living community so the service is offered at no charge to families.
3. Your Advisor can save you time.
Instead of sifting through a huge list of communities that can be overwhelming, an Advisor can provide a comprehensive list of options to choose from based on your personal needs, care level, location, budget, amenities, etc. This way you don’t have to spend time researching and visiting communities that are not a good fit.
4. Your Advisor has comprehensive experience and training.
There may be things you haven’t considered that an Advisor already knows because they are the experienced professional in senior care.
5. You receive personalized assistance.
The Advisor will meet with you and get information to do a personalized assessment and provide you with information to help you through the process. After narrowing down the communities to fit your personal needs, the Advisor will arrange a personal tour visiting each community so you will get the feel of each unique community and decide which one is right for you or your loved one. Advisors are there to help you along the way, answer questions, and keep in touch with you throughout the search process to make sure everything is going well.
