You've done the hard work—legal documents, finances, respite care plans. Now comes the biggest decision: choosing the right facility for your parent.

In this episode, I walk you through my exact professional process. The same framework I use every day as a Senior Placement Advocate. This is the roadmap that has helped hundreds of Central Texas families find the right fit.

What you'll learn:

• How to assess your parent's ACTUAL needs (not what you think they need)
• The 5 care levels and which one fits your situation
• How to research communities systematically and check regulatory records
• What to look for on facility tours (the questions that matter)
• Red flags you absolutely cannot ignore
• How to make the decision without second-guessing yourself
• A real-world example of comparing options and choosing what's right

This episode covers the exact process I use professionally. Whether you're exploring facilities, considering home-based care, or somewhere in between, this framework will help you make a confident decision based on your parent's actual needs—not fear, not convenience, not pressure.

Your parent deserves the right fit. Your family deserves the peace of mind that comes from making a thoughtful, informed choice. This episode gives you the tools to do both.
