Long Term Placement
We identify the best alternatives for relocating to an independent, assisted or skilled nursing center and can coordinate all the needed services related to the move.
In addition to helping you find the most appropriate facility, our care managers help with all the decisions (and emotions!) that come with making a change. Often a move involves downsizing and letting go of longtime possessions. Our compassionate staff provides support during the process, with effective channels for passing sentimental belongings to places where they will be truly appreciated.
Making the transition to a new home environment can be tricky, especially if the move is from a single-family residence to a group-living situation.
Our experienced staff provides support that eases the transition so the person you care for quickly begins engaging with the new surroundings and experiences fewer barriers to adjustment.
