Exploring the Options of Care for Senior Living in Our Local Community

Perhaps you have faced a situation as a caregiver, or as a senior, after a stint in the hospital to suddenly find out you need to transition from the hospital to a rehab location. When I found myself in this predicament, then handed a brief list of potential options by a smiling practitioner, followed by a simple well wish, left me quite breathless for a moment.

That situation can cause us a great deal of stress in a situation that has often already taxed our emotional and financial resources. When I faced this setting with my parent and realized the given list did not contain suitable locations, I felt a cold rush of uncertainty. A decision had to be made quickly and I simply did not know what my next steps should be at that time.

I am thankful to be able to say that we did make it through the situation successfully. Since then, I have learned of a local resource that is available to us all and I am SO grateful to now know about it.

Mark and Renee Milstead are the owners of the Greenville, South Carolina office for Assisted Living Locators. They provide a hands-on approach to assisting seniors, families, and caregivers in exploring the options of care for senior living in our local community. Mark and Renee are certified local SeniorCare Advisors.

With the fear and related safety constraints imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, they have put together special virtual tours for families considering assisted living communities. If you are looking for a senior care facility, this will be a great advantage for you.

A highlight that also stood out to me was the common situation being where the list offered by the hospital is generally unknown by the individuals offering the lists, it is impersonal. And they although well meaning, were often unable to give any insight about the locations they were recommending to me. Mark and Renee, on the other hand, personally walk through each location they recommend.

Also, they are sensitive and understanding of the needs and questions involved by ones facing these times of transition. This is because they have personally experienced similar situations caring for their own elderly parents.

As senior care advisors, with the local Assisted Living Locators office, they prove to be THE needed resource saving caregivers and family crucial time and money in locating the right situation in generally stressful times. They provide this service at NO COST to the families.

When we face such times, they can often confront us with little notice, strong emotion, and a basket of varied concerns. The circumstances leading up to the situation can also be varied such as:

* Transitioning from a hospital to a rehab location.

* Locating the right senior assisted living location.

* Locating the right senior community.

* Arranging at-home care.

You may face a ticklish conversation and find it difficult to wrap everyone's focus around the project. Just gathering the potential list of resources and narrowing them down by quality, amenities, and cost can be overwhelming. During this recent Covid pandemic, many facilities shut their doors making it impossible to get a clear picture of each location which added further challenge.

So your family, like mine, may find themselves struggling right from the start or at some other point along the decision-making trail. This can lead to unfortunate outcomes, costs, and extra stress.

This is when we really benefit taking advantage of the assistance from an insider, an advocate who is familiar with each facility they discuss with the family and is working for YOUR best interests! Someone who can help navigate the exploration process and show you a complete picture of:

* Funding options

* Quality of care at each location

* Available amenities

Rather than simply wishing you well once placed, Mark and Renee provide full transition support. This makes the move smooth, and worry-free. They also follow-up, post-move, to ensure the community or home is meeting your expectations.

The Assisted Living Locators network, founded in 2003, is well established with offices across 40 different states. The local Greenville, SC office routinely covers the area through greater Greenville, Mauldin, Greer, Seneca, and up to the North Carolina state line.
