Transitions Partners describes their business thusly: “Transition Partners knows how life transitions can be particularly challenging for seniors, their families, and their caregivers. A new transition can mean moving to rejoin family, or moving to a smaller home, a retirement community, or an assisted living community. It can also mean staying in your current home (aging in place).

Transition Partners is uniquely suited to assist you with the complexities of these transitions and the emotional concerns that accompany them. We plan and organize resources to meet your needs, whether you’re relocating or choosing to remain in your current home. We take care of all of the details or some of them, it’s up to you. We have the experience and the resources to make this event a positive one! Find out who we are and how we do it.”

Rodney and his team were very helpful and compassionate. They helped moved furniture and belongings of one of my family members to her room at an Assisted Living facility. They did a beautiful job of setting things up as close as possible to how it looked at her home. They were very understanding of the situation, professional and supportive.

Exceptional Senior Placement describes their business thusly: “Compassion, respect and dignity are the foundation of my senior placement business. Being raised in a culture where seniors are revered for their wisdom and experience, I felt a great passion for starting a consulting service where I could be instrumental in helping families find the right placement for their loved ones.”

I have had very good experience with Mona Laichandani at Exceptional Senior Placement. She helps clients find appropriate facilities for the family member who needs care and she is quite knowledgeable about the facilities in the area including those who accept Medi-Cal. She accompanies clients to visit the facility and can help negotiate the contract at the facility. In addition, my partner Kathy reports a favorable experience with Courtney Blair, who worked with a client to find a facility that accepted Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

The California Department of Developmental Services has published a workbook entitled THINKING AHEAD, My Way, My Choice, My Life at the End. This workbook is a simplified version of an Advanced Health Care Directive which can be used by some developmentally disabled persons to plan end-of-life choices.

Specializing in persons with disabilities, autism, mental illness, and dementia, they offer house calls and “The One-Sleep-Visit™”. We’ve heard a glowing report after a first hand experience.

Unconscious sedation involves the use of I.V. sedation or general anesthesia, which produces complete sleep during which you will be free of pain and will have no memory of the procedure.
