- A placement service can help make a plan for you by putting all your requirements together to make it easy, stress-free, and suitable for your situation.
- National placement services can be helpful for when your parent or loved one is in another state and you need help finding them a place from afar.
- Local placement services know the area better, can visit the facilities in person, and know availability and more of the details to make a strong recommendation.
- Senior placement services are free for seniors and their families. This is because they have contracts with senior apartments, independent living communities, assisted living, and memory care facilities where they receive fees for referrals.
