Being in the industry for 18 years already as a senior care placement in Washington, we strive to maintain our reputation in giving best quality senior care placement services, especially in the facilities we refer to our clients. We always give what is best to our clients and they can attest to that. Our senior care placement agency places seniors into LICENSED care facilities only, never in to non-licensed ones. We always make sure that such facilities we consider for our clients passed through our standards. And by that, we do not refer to any or all facilities. We see to it that the facilities in our referral base have earned their right to be there. Aside from choosing the facilities that have passed our own evaluation process, we also see to it that they have passed the state inspections and have maintained good reputations in the industry, ensuring best senior care placement services to our clients.

Washington State requires caregivers the care facilities to have a minimum of a Certified Nursing Assistant license or a Nursing Assistant Registered license. Whether they are Nursing Homes, Adult Homes, Assisted Living facilities, and Memory Care Units, all must be licensed by the state to provide care for seniors. They have laws and regulations in place that must be adhered, for them to operate and acquire their licenses. Moreover, they are regularly inspected by the state on a routine basis. If there are any problems, they must fix the problem or else face some disciplinary actions or, worse, consider the possibility of closing their facility. So our clients can be rest assured our referral base only considers those, which have passed the state examinations, and those, which are regulated by the state. Aside from that, as a devoted senior care placement agency working full time, we evaluate them again to see if they pass our standards.

Take for example, the Adult Family Homes. They are privately owned and state licensed facilities. The providers (owners) and caregivers are required to take certification classes and specialized training, which includes personal care, medication management, Dementia/Alzheimer's care, and many other related general care skills. And also, the home itself must pass a rigorous inspection process that considers all aspects of resident safety, cleanliness, patient records, food safety, and caregiver certification (among others). Registered Nurses own many homes or L.P.N.'s and a few are owned by Medical Doctors. The process for full licensing with the state may take from 1 to 2 years before they can be open for business. More extensive tests are given to nursing homes and other like facilities.

But there are also individuals or private caregivers that work independently and offer care in their own homes or in a senior's personal home do not have to answer to the state. Aside from seeking assistance from a senior care placement agent, you can find people who may or may not be licensed caregivers and they definitely don't have to adhere to specific requirements nor be required to be inspected by the state at any time. Thus, it is not of assurance that they have completed all the classes, trainings, or licensing requirements. This is the thing that you should be careful. You may only be lucky enough to find a wonderful, honest caregiver that provides quality care - but there are no guarantees. If you do not avail of the services of senior care placement, when ever problems arise, there's not much that could be done other than contacting law enforcement.

Therefore, you should be careful. So why take the chance of risking your loved one? You could always get in touch with the best senior care placement institution. As a professional placement agency engaged in providing quality service, we want to maintain our long earned reputation. We are confident enough to offer you our referrals because we only refer those who are licensed care facilities. More to that, we only offer what's best service for your senior loved ones.
