Why Families Call Silver Age
Families often reach out when a loved one's health or safety changes — but planning earlier can prevent crises, reduce stress, and protect quality of life.
The most common reasons we’re contacted include:
Dementia or Cognitive Decline
Memory loss, confusion, or behavioral changes often prompt families to reach out. Early planning helps your loved one stay safe, engaged, and supported — potentially delaying costly hospitalizations or unsafe living situations.

Falls and Mobility Challenges
Falls are common and serious. After just one fall, average medical costs can exceed $26,000, with most of the expense coming after hospital discharge. Proactive planning — from safe living arrangements to fall prevention strategies — can prevent injuries and preserve independence.

Caregiver Burnout
Providing 24/7 care can quickly become overwhelming. Families contact us when physical, emotional, or logistical demands exceed capacity. Planning early allows caregivers to get support before exhaustion leads to mistakes or crises.

Stroke recovery, heart conditions, infections, or surgeries often trigger urgent needs for skilled care. Addressing care needs in advance ensures smoother transitions and reduces costly emergency interventions.

Safety, Independence, and Daily Living
Medication errors, poor nutrition, or difficulty with daily tasks can quickly create unsafe conditions. Planning ahead gives families time to select environments that reduce risk and support continued independence.

“We had no idea where to start — until we called Silver Age.”
Silver Age made everything feel effortless. They guided us with genuine compassion and found the perfect place for my mom right when we needed it. We feel truly blessed to have had their support.
Lauri

We had a short timeline, a limited budget, and complicated needs. Silver Age went above and beyond to find the perfect home where our loved ones could stay together. Highly recommend.

Align decision-makers and family goals
The who, what, when and where of finding an adult family home or care facility can divide even the closest of families. In order to move forward, it is key to understand the priorities of each decision-maker. By keeping our elders central and presenting all of the needed information, it is usually possible to get everyone on the same page.

Senior Placement Comparison: Doing It Yourself vs. National Firms vs. Local Experts
Doing It Yourself
Big National Firms
Local Experts (Silver Age)
Real Guidance & Context
Most families don’t know where to begin, choosing based on availability or online impressions — often leading to a poor fit and another move later.
Most families don’t know where to begin, choosing based on availability or online impressions — often leading to a poor fit and another move later.
We walk families through every option clearly, with local context and transparent comparisons.
Transparency & Trust
Online reviews and search results are often outdated or confusing.
Communities appear based on paid listings, not personalized care or culture fit.
Families see the full range of qualified options, not just those who advertise.
Accountability & Guidance
No advisor to spot red flags or explain tradeoffs.
Agents may be accountable to sales targets, not family outcomes.
Silver Age advisors follow the ASRP Code of Ethics and a transparent decision process.
Local Knowledge
Families can miss important differences in care models, licensing, and staffing.
National firms often rely on remote call-centres and broad networks rather than frequent local tours or community visits.
Our advisors live and work locally, helping families throughout the greater Puget Sound region.
Personal Support & Advocacy
Families turn to Google or Reddit and quickly realize how overwhelming and incomplete the information really is.
High-volume intake calls and limited ongoing support.
We meet face-to-face, advocate through the whole process, and stay connected after a move.

What Families Say
Ami was amazing! We came to her with no concept of the market, a short timeline, difficult family members needing placement, and a limited budget. She went above and beyond, finding us the perfect place for a Parkinson’s patient and a dementia patient where they could be together. Highly recommend!
Rebecca
Redmond
Silver Age took the time to understand our needs and did the legwork to find the right fit for my mom. Heather toured communities with me, asked the right questions, and helped my mom feel comfortable about moving. They continue to check in after placement, which gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Amy
Burien
Amy was responsive, respectful and caring. She took each step slowly, presented my 96-year-old aunt with three adult family homes to tour, and had deep knowledge of each one. She was an indispensable part of a very challenging move.
Shelby
Everett
Where do I even begin to describe such an extraordinary experience? Ami made everything feel effortless. She was consistently available, guiding us through each step with genuine compassion and care. I shared what my mom would need, and Ami found the perfect place at just the right time. Our family feels truly blessed to have had her support—she is a shining example of what Silver Age stands for!
Lauri
Sammamish
Mark helped us find an appropriate care facility for my older sister. He was wonderful to work with and seemed genuinely caring about finding the right fit. We found an adult family home that couldn't be better suited to her. It has the right mix of residents, an energetic owner and wonderful caregivers. I highly recommend Mark for anyone searching for a care facility for their loved one.
Susan
Seattle
We needed to find care for my aunt with dementia and a friend referred me to Silver Age Housing and they were a light in the dark. Heather Bates was so helpful and kind. I highly recommend this service!
Shelly
Arlington
Mark was fantastic in helping us find an AFH for my Mom. He took a big load off our shoulders at a stressful time, after the Memory Care facility told us they could no longer safely care for her. In very short order, Mark identified a number of AFHs that he felt might work for us, given what we told him we were looking for. He arranged all the visits, and was very good at asking all the right questions (and answering ours). A very compassionate person, Mark came through for us, and we will always be grateful for everything he did to help us.
Craig
Redmond
We worked with Karen Anderson to find a new community for my mom in law. She asked questions, listened to our answers and found us an amazing community that we had never heard about in all of our research! We are so grateful for Karen and now my mom in law is thriving in her beautiful community! Thank you, Karen! We couldn’t have done it without you!
