How We Help You Find the Best Community for Your Senior

How We Help Tabs - CarePatrol - panel1

It all begins with a simple phone call. Why is this call so important?

Choosing a safer senior housing option, unfortunately, cannot be made by appearance alone. What is most important is something that really can’t be seen. It is "Can this community really care for your senior?" That's why CarePatrol's advisors complete a "Care Discovery" and base our recommendations on care options that can specifically meet your individual needs and preferences.

Guided Tour of Communities

We believe in private & personalized tours. We literally walk you through the steps. You will never get a list from us and be told to “go visit them alone, or on your own.” After we’ve matched your individualized needs to safer care options in your area, we will accompany you on a tour of each one of them. Or, we will provide a virtual tour if that works better for you. You are never alone because we will be your personal care guide from start to finish.

Full Care Details & Transparent Pricing

We insist on transparency with pricing & services. We don’t like surprises either. How to pay for care is always a concern and a valid question of our clients. Another important question relates to what services are provided in a specific care option. We can help alleviate these concerns. We will inform you of private, Veterans, or other government programs that you may be eligible for.

Moving Day & Transition Support

We work with the community so you can focus on your loved one. Change can be hard, especially for Seniors. We make sure everything is in order so on moving day, everybody’s attention can be on making the transition as smooth as possible. Ensuring your questions are answered and you continue to feel good about your decision is as important as getting your senior settled in to a new environment.

Sandi Wake

CPRS, Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®
Owner Placeholder

"My mission is to help families through the difficult and stressful process of finding the appropriate care options for their loved ones. We have a reputation of honesty, integrity, and compassion."

Using the experience with my own family and the hundreds of families I’ve helped to date, I am able to relate to my clients on a personal level with empathy and compassion. Finding assisted living, independent senior living, memory care, and in-home care can be a difficult road to travel, and it’s hard to know where to start. The journey is different for everyone, and by getting to know your unique situation, I’m able to provide suitable senior living options to save you time and alleviate stress. Knowing the senior living communities and other resources allows me the opportunity to educate families, so you can make informed decisions. Whether you’re looking out into the future or need immediate placement, I’m here to help seniors and their families find senior care solutions.
