When searching the internet for a local assisted living, independent living, or memory care community, how do you know you are clicking on the link for THAT community? You don’t; truth is, you have no idea where your click is taking you. 99% of the time that click is taking you to a national placement company that isn’t even located in the same state you live. They capture your information and pass it along to all the communities within a 50-mile radius who then bombard you with phone calls and emails. As if you aren’t overwhelmed enough, now you have all these places constantly calling and emailing you. What can you do about this?
The best thing you can do is pick up the phone and make that call and call the local number! Do not trust the internet! Have you ever searched for anything and clicked on a link and the next thing you know you have all kinds of ads for whatever it is you clicked on? That’s what the internet does; it sells through advertisements, and you get so many unwanted solicitations. The larger placement companies have never been to the local communities; they don’t know the ins and outs of them, they don’t know how long the staff has been there, they don’t know which community has the best care, and they don’t know what kind of license the communities have, we do.
Assisted Living Made Simple takes many factors into consideration when you call for your FREE consultation. We want to know what your care needs are. Do you only need medication management, or do you need a higher level of care? Knowing this helps us determine if you need a community with a specialized license.
What type of person are you or your loved one? If you are a socialite and like to be around other people, we don’t want to put you in a community with only three other residents. We want to make sure the community we choose together is close to your friends and family so they can visit regularly.
We want to know how much money you have available monthly so we don’t place you into a community you cannot afford. We look to see if there is more money available for you; do you have long-term care insurance? Do you qualify for VA Aid and Attendance? What kind of activities do you like? Are you active? We wouldn’t want to place you in a community that doesn’t have activities if you enjoy gardening, working out, walking, swimming, or even cooking.
A senior advisor takes all the above into consideration when you need assistance. When you click a link on the internet, wherever you end up doesn’t take those things into consideration; they are only out to make the most money they can off the leads they send out.
