Why Stay Local? The Benefits of Working with a Local Assisted Living Placement Company

Are you considering senior housing options for a loved one?

This can be a complex, confusing and emotional process – but it doesn’t have to be.

Before you start randomly surfing the web for quick answers and plugging personal information into a nationwide database offering ‘free information’ (public lists) via an easy to fill out ‘pop up’ screen, or phone call…there are a few things you need to know about the reality of the placement process and what happens with the information you provided.

Most national placement companies, many of which you see advertised on TV, are just that…they are national, not local, and oftentimes a 24-hour call center. What inquirers do not realize is that once your information is in their database, via a phone call or internet pop up screen you may have just forfeited the option to go back and work with a local placement company … even though no contract was signed!

Oftentimes families are required to proceed with their search alone, without the assistance and expertise provided by a local specialist to navigate them through what can be a very emotional and overwhelming search process. Maryland-based placement companies are familiar with our local culture, diverse neighborhoods and our deep rooted bay history that goes back generations. We have a pulse on the local senior care industry and we know the communities with the highest rankings and in good standing, their current move-in availability and costs.
