Care For You

Every individual deserves a unique approach to their senior years, one that speaks directly to their personal needs and desires. Personal senior care isn’t just about ensuring physical well-being, but about crafting an environment where emotional, mental, and social facets are nurtured. Whether one is managing specific health considerations, desiring intimate attention, or just seeking an environment tailored to their personal preferences, the goal remains the same: not just to live, but to thrive. Golden Placements is dedicated to this principle. Our mission is to understand every nuance of those we care for, ensuring a tailor-made approach that aligns with their distinct requirements and aspirations, allowing them to enjoy their golden years with dignity, comfort, and fulfillment.

For Medical Needs

Each individual’s health journey is as unique as their own story, and senior years often bring forth specific medical challenges that require dedicated attention. Addressing senior medical needs is more than just treatment—it’s about comprehensive, personalized care that ensures both comfort and health efficacy. Whether navigating chronic conditions, managing recovery from surgeries, or monitoring routine health check-ups. Our goal is to make sure your new home fits your health needs!

For Your Family

There comes a time in our lives when the safety and well-being of our parents or senior family members become paramount. Whether it’s due to a sudden medical situation, growing safety concerns, or simply the desire for a more manageable living space, the need for change can be challenging. It’s not just about finding a place for them to stay, it’s about finding a place where they will thrive.

For Caregivers

Every caregiver understands that the journey with their seniors is one filled with profound commitment, responsibility, and affection. Whether you’re navigating through unexpected health changes, addressing specific safety needs, or merely seeking a more conducive environment for your charge, the challenge is profound. Your role is not merely to find a place for them to reside, but a home where they flourish.

  Golden Placement Services answered!

It’s really difficult to have to place an aging parent into a facility, but our family knew it was time. So I did some research, called 15 facilities, and managed to get on one wait list. I also called two companies that assist with finding homes, and they said they could not help. We were concerned we wouldn’t find a place, and if we did, it could be a very poor choice for our dad.

Then I was given Golden Placement Services phone number and I spoke with a lovely woman named LaVona. That’s when everything changed!

LaVona listened to our family’s needs, was understanding, and within days, she had arranged places for us to visit. How she found them, I don’t know, but she did! She met us there, listened some more, answered questions, and offered sage advice.

We will forever be grateful for Golden Placement Services help in making this very tough decision. We absolutely know that my dad is in the right place to spend the rest of his life. And, we wouldn’t have that assurance today, had we not been connected with their wonderful service!

They have blessed us greatly and we are sharing their information with others we know who are going through the same process.
