SLG Senior Care of Atascadero has launched updated Senior Placement Services for clients in south San Luis Obispo County. The company helps clients find assisted living, memory care board and care and independent living facilities for seniors 62 and older.

The service has been available in north SLO county for 2 years now and has helped more than one hundred families but has expanded its focus to south county. The company aims to give seniors and their families an easier and less stressful way to find care choices based on their individual needs.

If living at home is no longer a safe option for an elderly person due to the risk of falling, memory difficulty, or the risk of taking the wrong medication, assisted living can be an excellent alternative to a nursing home. It is a residential facility that offers assistance and supervision for people who are able to get around somewhat independently. It is funded through private pay often through means such as long term care insurance.

Services provided by assisted living facilities include housekeeping, medication management, laundry, social activities, transportation, wellness programs, meal service and help with the activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing dressing, grooming toileting and transferring from bed and chair. Every community offers different levels of support, so the help of a knowledgeable senior placement advisor is essential for choosing the best option.

SLG Senior Care Certified Senior Advisors start by assessing each particular situation and asking questions in order to determine the senior’s emotional and physical needs. Based on the assessment and the preferred locations, Advisors recommend the best independent living, assisted living, memory care, or even in-home care options.

They present the client with two or if possible three local communities that are best suited to the senior’s needs. Clients are taken on a personal tour of each facility. Every senior care community SLG Senior Care recommends is pre-screened.

Services are at no cost to clients. Advisors are compensated by the care homes and communities. After the move-in, the Advisor continues monitoring the situation to ensure that the senior’s needs are being met even when health conditions change.

SLG Senior Care has access to over 200 Certified Senior Advisors throughout the country that do senior placement so can help clients throughout the US though their main day to day focus is SLO county.

“The SLG Senior Care advisor was extremely helpful and caring during a difficult time,” said a satisfied client. “She helped find a good safe place for a senior family member. In the situation where clients can’t personally check out the facility because of the quarantine during COVID, they can feel confident in her recommendation.”
