Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do your senior placement services entail?
Our services involve helping seniors and their families find suitable communities or environments that meet their care needs and personal preferences. This includes conducting assessments, researching facilities, scheduling tours, and providing guidance throughout the decision-making process.
We were recently told by a hospital or rehab we only have a few days to find a solution, how long does the placement process typically take?
While the process can vary depending on factors such as availability and your senior's specific needs and preferences, at VIP Senior Placement, we specialize in emergency placements and helping families with short time frames, usually within days or even hours. Give us a call today and let’s talk.
How can your services help facilitate "the talk" with my senior loved one who’s not quite ready but we see signs they may need more help soon?
Our services are specifically designed to facilitate open and honest conversations about senior care needs. Setting the tone for potential future events for seniors is important. We provide personalized guidance and support to help families engage in these difficult discussions with their loved ones. By working together, we can ensure that your loved one feels heard and supported as they explore their care current and future care options.
What is the average cost of assisted living, and how can we afford it?
The cost of assisted living in Arizona varies depending on factors such as location, level of care needed, and amenities offered. We can help you understand the costs involved and explore options for financing assisted living, including long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and other financial assistance programs that may be available.
Does Medicare pay for any part of a stay at a licensed assisted living?
No. Medicare does not cover the cost of assisted living in any form.
My loved one has a dementia diagnosis that is pretty severe, can you assist with finding memory care options for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes, we specialize in assisting families with finding memory care options tailored to the unique needs of seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia. We can recommend communities with specialized memory care programs and trained staff.
What if we only require a short-term stay in assisted living because my loved one would like to return home at some stage? Is that available?
Yes. A respite or ‘short-term’ stay in assisted living can be very beneficial for seniors who may only need temporary assistance. A respite stay is also particularly helpful for seniors whose primary caregivers need time off for vacation, illness, or other personal reasons. Additionally, respite stays can also provide an opportunity for seniors to experience the amenities and services offered in an assisted living community before making a long-term commitment.
My loved one is still pretty active, but is lonely and taking care of the house has become quite a burden for them. Can you assist with finding independent living options for seniors who are still fairly independent.
Yes, we can help you explore independent living options for seniors who are looking for a more active lifestyle with fewer care needs. Independent living communities offer a range of amenities and services designed to promote independence and social engagement.
How is your service complimentary and how can we get started with your assisted living placement services?
Our support for families comes at no cost, as we receive compensation through the network of Licensed Care Facilities in Arizona we are contracted with. To get started, simply reach out to us to schedule a complimentary consultation. We'll discuss your needs, preferences, and any questions you may have about the placement process.
