How to Find the Right Senior Placement
In the Phoenix metropolitan area, there are a wide variety of senior care options, from in-home care and assisted living communities to senior group homes and memory care facilities. Each care option has its own degree of on-site medical care, assistance with daily living, level of supervision, and unique environment. There is truly the perfect fit for every Phoenix senior! If you are searching for the ideal placement for either yourself or an aging loved one, you need a personal assessment from an experienced placement specialist. You need guidance from one of the compassionate professionals at Integrity Senior Placement!
Getting to Know Your Loved One
At Integrity Senior Placement, we know that finding ideal care for Phoenix area seniors means so much more than just accommodating their physical needs; it requires an understanding of the whole person, including their emotional, social, behavioral, spiritual, and recreational needs. That is why we begin every placement in Maricopa County with a personal assessment of our client. Getting to know our clients is the first step towards finding a placement will treat them with dignity, honor, and respect.
What Does a Personal Assessment Entail?
Integrity Senior Placement’s personal assessments are conducted by David, our placement specialist. David is a former case manager in long-term care, assisted living, hospice, and memory care in and around Phoenix. As such, he has a wealth of experience in conducing personal assessments with seniors to determine their psycho-social needs, overall health, and unique circumstances. During the personal assessment, David will ask you or your loved one a series of questions about topics such as:
Physical Health:
Are there any illnesses or conditions that we should be aware of? What level of medical care will your loved one need to stay healthy and happy? Senior placements in Phoenix range from independent living communities with limited on-site medical care, to inpatient facilities with round-the-clock nursing.
Mental & Behavioral Health:
Does your loved one have any mental health concerns that require special support? Is he or she experiencing memory loss, depression, anxiety, or behavioral disruptions as a result of advancing dementia? David will find a Phoenix area placement that accommodates your loved one’s mental and behavioral health needs, so that they can thrive in their new home.
Safety:
It is important that whatever placement you choose is safe and secure. David will assess how much supervision your loved one needs to prevent falls and other incidents that could cause harm. Integrity Senior Placement works with facilities that offer minimal supervision for independent seniors, as well as facilities that offer 24/7 support for those that require significant care.
Assistance with Daily Living:
During the personal assessment, David will also determine how much assistance your loved one needs during various activities of daily living, including feeding, bathing, toileting, and basic housekeeping. Integrity Senior Placement will find a Phoenix area facility that provides as much or as little support required to live life to the fullest.
Location:
Most seniors want a placement that is conveniently located to family and friends. Integrity Senior Placement will recommend a new home in whichever part of the Phoenix metropolitan area your loved one is comfortable in.
Social & Recreational Needs:
Integrity Senior Placement is committed to securing a placement that keeps your loved one happy! David will ask about your loved one’s social and recreational needs and use this information to recommend a facility that he or she will find fulfilling. Integrity Senior Placement only partners with Phoenix senior living facilities that offer enriching social activities, guided outings, and opportunities for community building.
Financial Situation:
David will also assess your loved one’s financial circumstances and insurance provider. Regardless of your financial situation, Integrity Senior Placement will find a high-quality placement. You will never have to sacrifice quality of care for affordability!

outside? Would it help to talk through your loved one’s health, safety, budget, and preferences
with someone who places seniors every week? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, a

What families say
I couldn’t have done it without their help! Reina was there to answer any questions I had, listen to my concerns and find the “right” place for my loved one. Most importantly, she cared!
My family and I are so grateful to David!! We had no idea what to ask or expect or how to navigate such a complicated process. He made sure to understand the family’s wants and needs and figure out scheduling and attend tours, call after and just be the point person on our journey. He made my family feel so taken care of and has a way of making everything feel a little more positive. I cannot thank him enough.
We had a fantastic experience working with Integrity Senior Placement, especially with Troy. Being new to the process of finding assisted living, we felt overwhelmed at first, but Troy was incredibly helpful, communicative, and kind. He took the time to understand our needs, set up tours, and made sure we had answers to all our questions. His guidance made a stressful decision so much easier. Highly recommend working with them!
I have used David Piontek several times for placement needs. David consistently exceeds all expectations. David is motivated by love, compassion, and is an advocate at heart. He is a true professional and a joy to work with.
