Senior placement advisors, also known as senior living advisors, are professionals who help seniors and their families navigate the process of finding the right senior living community or care option. They typically work with seniors who may be considering a move to a retirement community, assisted living facility, memory care facility, or nursing home.

Senior placement advisors can provide valuable assistance to seniors and their families in a number of ways. They can help identify suitable senior living communities based on the senior’s budget, location preferences, medical needs, and lifestyle preferences. They can also help with the paperwork and administrative tasks involved in the transition to a senior living community. In addition, senior placement advisors often have extensive knowledge of the various types of senior living options available, as well as the local senior living market. This can be especially helpful for families who may be unfamiliar with the options available in their area. Ultimately, senior placement advisors aim to help seniors and their families make informed decisions about senior living options that best meet their needs and preferences.

Be sure to compare fee structures. Many senior placement advisors do not charge clients for their services, instead, they receive compensation from the living community that is selected.
