About Southern Arizona Placement Agency
Southern Arizona Placement Agency is a Tucson community resource that helps seniors, families, and loved ones explore senior living and care options. The agency works with people who are considering a move from home or need a different level of support, with a mission to inform and empower seniors with resources that help them continue living as independently as possible. Its placement work focuses on finding communities and residences that address an individual's needs, preferences, and level of care.
The agency works with a broad range of senior care options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, in-home care, respite, hospice, and around the clock nursing and care. It also works with veterans and with independent living communities, assisted living homes, and other care providers. Southern Arizona Placement Agency describes its service as personalized, taking into account the senior's requirements and the family's concerns while looking for an appropriate and cost effective option in Tucson and the surrounding areas.
The process begins with a needs assessment. A Southern Arizona Placement Agency specialist comes to the senior and family at no cost to discuss requirements and assess the available care options. The agency then provides a cost consultation, working with the family to identify an appropriate level of care and a location where the senior can feel comfortable. The placement service is provided at no cost to families because the agency is paid by assisted living providers.
Once a facility has been identified, the senior placement agent takes the family on a guided tour of the property and reviews the services available there. The agency's stated goal is to provide a compassionate and personalized placement experience while addressing the senior's care needs. Southern Arizona Placement Agency says it has more than 20 years of experience in senior placement. Its website identifies Tess Mew as the owner, and testimonials from Tucson families describe her as a source of information, guidance, patience, and support during the transition to a new home. One testimonial also notes that she stayed involved with a family after placement.
The agency's work is rooted in Tucson, where it provides resources to seniors and their families as they consider assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite, hospice, and related care arrangements. Families can begin by contacting Southern Arizona Placement Agency to discuss their situation and arrange an assessment. From there, the agency helps identify options, compare levels of care, and visit a prospective residence before a decision is made. The process is intended for seniors and families who want help understanding available placements while keeping the senior's choices and needs central to the search.
