With aging comes many difficult decisions. One of those is determining the best living situation for your later years, specifically, choosing a senior living community. In fact, the US Department of Health and Human Services estimates that the number of adults 65 and older who will need to move into senior living communities is expected to reach 27 million by 2050. That’s a lot of people! While many options are available, ranging from independent living and assisted living to memory care and boarding, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. So, whether you’re looking for opportunities for a loved one or are interested in your future, this podcast will provide clarity and deep insights.

Join us as we sit down with Bryan Riddle, Owner of Care Placement Advisors, to discuss senior communities, resources, guidance, and more. Bryan has over 20 years of experience as a care placement specialist, making him the perfect person to answer all our questions. He and his team work hard to find the best options for each family’s unique situation while working to educate, empower, and go the extra mile to meet a loved one’s preferences, needs, and goals. 

“Sometimes the children want to push mom or dad into a community because they feel guilty. They’re worried and wonder - ‘Is mom okay?’ ‘Is she taking her medications?’ I love how much the children love mom or dad. However, if placement is to work, we want mom or dad to have buy-in. They must have some say in the process.”

In this episode of A Place of Possibility, we’ll be discussing:

• The variety of senior living options available for older adults and how to determine the right choice for your needs.
• We’ll do a brief overview of pricing, but it’s hard to pinpoint because costs do vary.
• The little-known fact that Medi-Cal doesn’t cover costs associated with a senior living community.
• Why you should consider working with a care placement specialist.
• An in-depth look into the process of working with a care placement specialist.

And more.

The decision to transition a loved one to a senior community isn’t easy and, as Bryan points out, often comes after a crisis, such as a sudden fall. It can be a scary and stressful time for the whole family. However, it’s not something that has to be faced alone and should be thought about outside of crises, too. Join us as we travel this journey of senior living possibilities together, uncovering new insights, opportunities, resources, and more!
