What is a Senior Placement Specialist?
We are Golden Placements Services, GPS, a small boutique company. Our GPS senior living placement specialists guide individuals and their families through the complex process of finding ideal housing option fitting personal needs and budget.
We work for You, at no cost to YOU.
We do not do this often but you should know that other placement agencies work for a large sales force or telemarketer companies. They sell your contact information to an impersonal telemarketing call center. Those salespeople who are employed by a company to telephone people in order to persuade them to buy the company’s products or services. This type of company pays their placement sales team to solely recommend there facilities! We are NOT like that.
What GPS does for the Portland Metro Northern California area is different.
- We have done real leg work to establish personal ties within our own community creating an ORGANIC network of senior care placement.
- After our discovery meeting. We personally guide you on tours of the facilities we feel will suit your needs best.
- We really do know from personal experience how long it will take in traffic if your home is in Southwest Portland and your senior loved is placed in the Pearl District area of Portland for senior living.
- We feel that making personal relationships with you and the people offering care is the only way to truly find an ideal situation for our people. Boots on the ground relationships keep us all healthier.
- Continuity of care after placement! WE ARE Here for YOU. Having healthy and long-lasting relationships in your senior loved ones life can act as a buffer against the stresses of life.
Let the Golden Girls find that ideal placement for you.

Gwenn McNeal2023-03-09Golden 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.
