Frequently asked questions

We pride ourselves on offering compassionate and reliable care. Our mission is to make the journey of finding senior care as straightforward and stress-free as possible for families in St. Louis, MO. We're here to answer your questions and provide the trusted guidance you need.

What are the most common worries or questions families have when they first start looking for senior care for their loved ones?

Here are some of the most frequent questions we encounter:

1. What does a senior placement agency do?
We help families find safe, comfortable, and appropriate living options for their loved ones, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing facilities.

2. How much does your service cost?
Our placement services are typically free to families. We are paid by partnered communities and care facilities once a placement is made.

3. Do you only work with assisted living facilities?
No. We also help with independent living, memory care, skilled nursing facilities, and in some cases in-home care services.

4. How quickly can you find placement for my loved one?
Depending on the urgency and care needs, we can often present options within 24–72 hours.

5. Do you visit facilities before recommending them?
Yes. We evaluate and research facilities to ensure they meet safety, care, and quality standards before recommending them to families.

How do your placement services differ from your in-home care services? What makes each one special?
Our senior placement services focus on finding the ideal long-term residential facility for your loved one, such as assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing facilities. We guide you through facility options and help with the transition. Our in-home care services, on the other hand, provide personalized care within your loved one's own home, offering support with daily activities, companionship, and specialized medical care as needed, allowing them to remain in a familiar environment.

Once a family contacts you, what are the typical steps they go through to find the right care?

Our process is designed to be supportive and clear:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed conversation to understand your loved one's specific needs, preferences, budget, and geographical requirements.

2. Personalized Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive assessment to match needs with suitable care options, whether it’s a residential facility or in-home care.

3. Curated Options: We present you with a carefully selected list of facilities or in-home care plans that best fit your criteria, providing detailed information about each.

4. Guided Tours/Meetings: For placements, we arrange and often accompany you on tours of recommended facilities. For in-home care, we coordinate meetings with potential caregivers.

5. Support and Transition: Once you make a decision, we assist with paperwork, logistics, and ensure a smooth transition for your loved one into their new care environment or with their new caregiver.

6. Follow-Up: We check in post-placement to ensure satisfaction and address any further needs or adjustments.

How does Sisterly Love ensure the quality and safety of the facilities you recommend?
We rigorously vet all facilities before recommending them. Our team personally visits and evaluates each location for safety, cleanliness, staff professionalism, resident care quality, and overall environment. We also review state licensing, inspection reports, and resident testimonials to ensure they meet our high standards for compassionate and reliable care. We only partner with facilities that we would trust for our own loved ones.
