Ep. 23 | Why Every Vulnerable Senior Needs a Care Advocate

Описание: Thinking about placing a loved one in Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Home Care, but you’re not sure what to look for and what to avoid?

In this episode of the Florida Assisted Living Consulting Podcast, Carline sits down with Faith-Marie Griffiths, MSN-RN, founder of Treasure Coast Senior Placement Solutions, ALF Administrator, and senior placement advisor, to break down what families really need to know before they choose a senior living option.

This conversation is for ALF owners/operators, caregivers, senior care professionals, and sandwich generation families who are trying to make the right decision without guilt, confusion, or costly mistakes.
