How Do We Work?


The family makes contact with Sue Gibson at SLG Senior Care.  Sue conducts a Care Assessment with the client to go over the following.


  • Contact info for all involved in the decision process


  • Background e.g. past career, current interests, likes and dislikes


  • Medical history


  • Medications list


  • Geographic preferences


  • Financial analysis


  • Help with activities of daily living (ADLs) – bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transferring, eating etc.


  • Housing particulars e.g. attached bathroom, garden, transportation, activities, upscale environment etc.


  • Housing preferences e.g. studio, private room, shared room

Once the Care Assessment is complete Sue will scan her database and find one or more options that would be a good fit.  We will check availability, the state safety record and then we will send a fact sheet for each viable option to you for review.  Next, we will schedule appointments for you to view the homes or communities – either in-person or virtually (via FaceTime, ZOOM, etc.). And we will accompany you on the tour to be there to ask and answer questions and help negotiate the best pricing for you.


We also work closely with case managers and discharge planners to create a smooth transition from their institutions to the communities and care homes.


Sue will listen to you about your impressions about each home/community after each tour so she can fine tune the process for you. 


Once the home or community is chosen Sue will work with you to prepare for move in.  This includes getting a 602 RCFE physician’s report from your loved one’s doctor, a TB test, likely a COVID test and move in paperwork from the home or community.


This process can take as a little as a day to complete (same day discharge & placement), if need be, or a few days to a week or more should timing permit.



SLG Senior Care

When you have an elderly loved one, you know what it’s like to worry about their health. You may recognize that they could need additional support from day to day and want to be there to help. Deciding when it's time to pick up your belongings and move closer to a senior loved one can be tough. Fortunately, there are a few signs you can look for that signal that now may be the right time to move close to them and reassess their living options. Today, SLG Senior Care provides some tips and resources to help you give your beloved senior the care they deserve. Deciding to Move Close to Your Senior Loved One Some signs that show your loved one could need more support and to have you nearby include a need for help with daily chores, the loss of a driver's license, and financial trouble due to going onto Social Security retirement. A recent diagnosis of a progressive illness or a terminal diagnosis may also signal that it's time to move closer to your loved one. Getting Ready to Move If your loved one is starting to show signs of aging, like not being able to drive to appointments or needing extra help with daily tasks, then you need to put your plan into action. Start by looking at your budget and determining if you need to sell your home or if you can rent a home in the new location. You may be able to rent out your current home or sell and buy a new property in the new location. To make the moving process as simple as possible, pack your boxes by room and label them accordingly. If you’re moving with kids, help them to organize their room into colorful bins that they can easily pack and transition into their new bedrooms. If you need help with the packing or moving transition, a full-service moving team can pack, move, and unpack your home for you, which is helpful if you're on a time crunch. Also, the last thing you want to do in the middle of a move is have to tear open sealed boxes to find this or that important document that you’ve misfiled or accidentally packed away, so it’s a good idea to start getting in the habit of digitizing your documents. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use PDF converter to facilitate better organization, you can try this page for free! Settling in with Students in Tow If you are moving with any students – yourself included – check out the school districts in your new area to ensure you move into a good district. If you are considering going back to school, take a look at online degree programs that you can start before the move and continue in your new location. It’s important that you do not give up on your own goals during this process or caretaking will lead to resentment. So find ways to do both whenever possible. Moving Your Business Closer to a Senior Loved One One of the things you have to think about when you're preparing to move is that your business may have to come with you. To be able to move with minimal disruption to your business, you need to start planning as soon as you can. While you're searching for an apartment or new home, start packing up your business's items, including legal documents and supplies. Label all your boxes well and convert to a remote workflow to maintain your working hours even while moving. Once you're ready to make the physical move, hire movers with a good reputation to make sure your items make it from A to B safely. Help Your Senior Loved One With Their Living Situation At this point, your loved one may no longer be able to live alone. Sit down and talk to them about their needs and if a 55+, assisted living, memory care, or nursing home community would be a good choice for them. This can be a difficult conversation, so enter it with love and compassion. Discuss the Best Choices for Everyone Involved Making the decision to uproot your life and move closer to a senior loved one can be hard. Be sure to discuss your choice with everyone involved to make sure it is the right choice. Once you’ve decided to move, put a plan in place to ensure that your life isn’t put on hold while you support your aging loved one. The most important thing is to approach the situation with love and compassion so that you can support your loved one as they age. SLG Senior Care is here to provide seniors with the assisted living care they deserve. Call (415) 656-6869.

Many seniors live alone, far removed from immediate family, and still others have limited support networks from which to draw help. Becoming more independent can help you feel a greater sense of self-sufficiency. Here, SLG Senior Care presents some tips for staying active and having fun even if you’re far away from loved ones. Make New Friends Friends come and go through our adult lives, so continually look for ways to make new connections and create networks of caring support. Find rewarding volunteer opportunities in your community and you’re sure to make new acquaintances. Who knows? Those co-volunteers might turn into great friends! Join or start a neighborhood association and get to know the people who live around you. You can offer to help and support one another in emergencies. Find Reliable Service Providers It’s important to identify resources in advance of needing them. When a problem arises, you’ll know just who to call. Find a reputable handyperson who can take care of minor repairs, help you move heavy items, and troubleshoot common household problems. Locate a mechanic who can help you keep your car in good working order, handle regular maintenance, and fix problems as they arise. Ask around your social circle if there are reliable teens who’d like to earn extra cash helping with housework or yard work, or running simple errands. Plan For Emergencies Whether it’s a power outage, a flat tire, or a broken toe, emergencies arise for everyone , and having a plan of action in place will give you a sense of security. Have an emergency kit with water, non-perishable food, and a pre-charged phone charger. Consider adding a smart voice assistant to your home if you live alone. It can be a life saver after a fall. Stock a first aid kit with essentials and make sure your health care providers are listed in your phone’s contacts in the emergency section. Create a list of people you can call on — near or far — if you have an emergency you are unprepared for. Secure Your Finances If you’re living on a fixed income, make sure your finances are protected. Use caution online. Don’t share your passwords or account numbers with anyone, and keep them stored in a secure location. If you’re making a big financial decision, like selling a home, research the market to ensure that it is an opportune time to sell. Monitor your bank accounts and credit card statements, and consider putting a lock on your credit file — regular credit monitoring can also alert you to irregularities . Enjoy Your Independent Life Living alone can present its challenges, but finding your own support network and being prepared will help you live a safe, fulfilled, and independent life.

Losing a loved one is a painful process, and it’s one that often stretches far beyond that first mourning stage. We all know to expect the heartache of initial loss, as well as the emotional and mental toll of planning a funeral. However, most people don’t think about the challenges that come afterward until it’s upon them. Selling a loved one’s house is one such challenge. This process can be cathartic, challenging, numbing, and often manages to be all of these things and more. To help, we’ve put together the following guidance for how to make this process as easy and efficient as possible, as well as some tips for helping your mind, heart, and soul begin to heal. Get Organized When it comes to selling a loved one’s house, one of the most important — and often, most challenging — tasks is to get organized. You’ll need to find a lot of paperwork before you can get the house sale process rolling. If your loved ones had a strong filing system, this might not be that rough. If not, however, you may need to do some serious searching in order to find what you need. If you cannot find a certain document, you may be able to request copies. This organizing process can be hectic, but it also has the potential to reduce your stress significantly. Once you have all the paperwork you need, you’ve crossed a major item off your to-do list. Never underestimate the psychological power of being prepared. Hire an Estate Lawyer Many people think they’ll only need an estate lawyer if things get messy, but the reality is an estate lawyer makes sense no matter what. Even when there are no disputes or conflicts along the way, a lawyer will be able to help you make sense of any complicated or unclear steps you need to take when selling your loved one’s home. If you’re not sure how to find a good estate lawyer, ask friends and family who have lost loved ones who they’ve used. Not only will this help you get some names to consider, but you can also get a sense of how trustworthy and efficient a lawyer might be. The American Bar Association notes that a great recommendation from a friend can help you feel more confident with your final choice . Also, depending on the wishes of the departed, you might even want to consider starting a nonprofit. If so, you won’t necessarily need a lawyer; online services like Zenbusiness can help by walking you through the steps required to start a formal nonprofit in a couple of hours. And by taking these steps properly, the National Council of Nonprofits points out that you avoid the possibility of not being properly registered , which could get you into trouble. Connect With an Agent Although it’s possible to sell a house on your own, a real estate agent is a wise investment, especially when handling an emotionally challenging sale. Connect with a real estate agent you can trust to find interested sellers and help you decipher the best offers. Not only will you get the benefit of their real estate connections, but you’ll also have an informed ally who can help you navigate the process with ease. Give Yourself Time Many people work to get a loved one’s home sold as quickly as possible. Although this might work for some people, and it can reduce the amount of time you’re directly reminded of your grief, it’s not always the best bet, psychologically speaking. For many people, the act of cleaning out a loved one’s home and preparing it for sale is extremely powerful on an emotional level. This process can provide catharsis, allow you to revisit cherished memories, and give you a sense of connection with your lost loved one. Check in with yourself emotionally throughout the process to make sure that you’re not rushing things just for the sake of being done with them. This doesn’t mean you have to intentionally drag things out, but do give yourself time to process and grieve as you go. This is rarely an easy process, and you don’t have to force yourself to pretend it is. Finally, consider seeing a therapist while you’re going through the home selling process. Although many people find it psychologically beneficial, any intense emotional process can lead to psychological distress. A pro can give you the coping tools you need to handle the challenge and keep your grief manageable along the way.

When a loved one has dementia, it can be so hard to connect with them. As the disease progresses, it becomes harder to continue conversations or keep up with the hobbies they once enjoyed. That’s why music can play such an important role in their care plan. A recent study showed that enjoying music is one of the longest enduring abilities for people with dementia. Even patients in the most advanced stages of the disease are still able to connect over a familiar song. Music is so beneficial that the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America regularly puts out new articles and events on the topic. According to the AFA, “When used appropriately, music can shift mood, manage stress-induced agitation, stimulate positive interactions, facilitate cognitive function and coordinate motor movements.” This probably isn’t all news to you. After all, most people would agree that listening to music can be relaxing. Sharing music with someone is a common way we connect with our friends and family. And we know that dancing comes naturally to people - just play some music to a baby and watch them start instantly moving to the rhythm.

Moving as a senior can be tricky. It’s a lot of work to pack up and relocate, so much so that many seniors don’t want to handle the burden alone. Luckily, there are some exceptional senior moving services available that can help. If you want to make sure that you can relocate to the best home for you successfully, SLG Senior Care discusses what you need to do if your move focuses on a move to assisted living, memory care or independent living. Find the Right Home Before you start planning your move, you need to determine where you’re headed. Exactly how you should approach this will vary depending on your needs and preferences. In some cases, this may mean selling your current home and buying a new one, potentially downsizing as you do. In others, it might mean shifting from a house to an apartment or condo, reducing your maintenance requirements. If you want to find the right residential care home or senior community for you, working with SLG Senior Care might be your best move. They can assess your unique needs and match you with the ideal destination, ensuring you’re moving to a place that can provide you with the proper amount of support and the optimal local culture. Get Senior Moving Services to help with your move Senior moving services focus specifically on helping older adults relocate successfully. By going this direction, you’ll partner with a senior move manager that can coordinate the process, assist with organization, streamline downsizing, and help with packing and unpacking. If you are downsizing and have personal property you no longer want to keep, your senior move manager can assist with its removal. For example, they may be able to coordinate an estate sale , consignment shop sales, or donations to a local charity-run thrift store. A senior move manager may also be able to assist with the sale of your home. Along with preparing the property for sale, they can coordinate with a realtor to streamline the process. As you begin your search for a senior moving service, focus on National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers (NASMM) member companies. Those moving services undergo training focused on senior move management, giving them comprehensive knowledge on how to address your needs. Additionally, make sure to read reviews and customer testimonials as you explore your options. If possible, request referrals so that you can contact past customers. That lets you learn about other people’s experiences directly, which is beneficial. Settle in at Your New House or Condo After you finish moving, it’s time to get settled in at your new home. While most of that will involve activities like unpacking and personalizing the space, other steps are also crucial. For example, if you are moving to a single family home or condo you’ll want to get your locks rekeyed. Start that process by searching for the closest locksmith to me . Next, reach customer testimonials and review any ratings. As you narrow down your options, make sure that you focus on locksmiths that are licensed, bonded, and insured. Rekeying a door can cost around $50 to $150, though prices do vary by area. Still, you want to make sure you’re getting quality work, so ensuring the locksmith is licensed, bonded, and insured is essential. Another thing you may want to do is replace your toilet seats . It’s also wise to change HVAC filters and smoke detector batteries. It’s also not a bad idea to look at the water heater, fridge, and freezer to see if they are at your optimal temperature. That way, everything is in good shape and will meet your needs.

After you retire, you want to enjoy your golden years to the max. Choosing a senior home care option that suits your physical and emotional needs will allow you to make the most of this time. Most adults settle for one of three options: staying in their existing home and undertaking renovations to make it more senior-friendly; moving to a smaller and more accessible house; or transitioning to an assisted living facility. How can you decide which choice is right for you? Find out how to weigh your options below. Need to find the right living situation for your senior loved one? SLG Senior Care can match your senior with the right residential care home or community. Call (415) 656-6869 to learn more. Assess your physical needs As people age, they experience a natural decrease in muscle tone (a condition known as sarcopenia ). This can make household chores like mowing the lawn or vacuuming more challenging. If you are having difficulty with such tasks, an assisted living facility may be your best option because chores like cooking and cleaning will be taken care of for you. You also benefit from a built-in community that will encourage you to socialize. Staying social helps seniors stay mentally fit and can even delay the onset of dementia . If you are still comfortable living independently, then you might opt to stay in your current home. Think of your future physical needs, however. For your safety and comfort , renovations may be needed, but can your home accommodate them? This AARP list of common renovations for seniors will give you an idea of what home improvements you might want to undertake down the line, from widening doorways to allow for wheelchairs to installing a walk-in shower that eliminates the need to step over a high ledge. If you aren’t confident that your current property can accommodate such changes, you may opt to downsize to a smaller, more senior-friendly house. A one-story model that eliminates the need to climb stairs is ideal. Check out this article for other characteristics to look for when choosing a home for aging in place. It mentions aspects such as pull-out or pull-down shelving and open floor plans, which are easier for those with walkers or wheelchairs to navigate. Evaluate your financial situation Regardless of which of the options above you choose, some financial investment will be needed. If you sell your home and move to an assisted living facility, you have to pay monthly fees (the cost of assisted living averages $4,070 a month in California). If you stay in your current home, you have to undertake the cost of renovations. If you buy a brand new house, you have to make a down payment, usually of at least 20 percent although smaller amounts are possible , to secure a loan for the property. Make sure you have the financial means needed to support your preferred option. If you want to sell your house and move to assisted living or another property, you can get an online estimate of your home’s worth. You can also review current listings in different cities and neighborhoods (homes in Atascadero have sold for a median price of $592,000 over the last 30 days). Look at homes similar to yours in your neighborhood. Would the money from a sale be enough to sustain your assisted living expenses or to cover the cost of a new property? Consider passion as well as practicality Last but not least, take a moment to assess your values and figure out what senior home care option will best meet your emotional needs. Maybe you want to be near family, for instance, and moving to a new house in your children’s neighborhood makes sense. This article offers pros and cons about this arrangement (pro, you can enjoy your grandchildren versus con, you may be taken for granted as a default babysitter). Alternatively, perhaps you would rather enjoy the company of other seniors and would prefer assisted living. Or maybe you have a passion for gardening or a pet you can’t part with? Then perhaps you’re best staying put. The point is to consider not only practical but also emotional elements. By understanding and acknowledging what brings you joy, you can create a senior home care option that makes you happy. Photo Credit: Unsplash.com

Did you know that whether you realize it or not you are constructing your life legacy? We all will leave a legacy behind- whether you are aware of it or not; your legacy is how you will be remembered by those you touched during your life. What you will leave behind is nothing more than the memories you made for people to hold onto. The question is, “will the legacy you leave be one that you would be proud of and (more importantly) that your family will appreciate?” Most people don’t put much thought into what “situation” or “set of circumstances” they will leave their family in if they should suddenly fall ill, be injured, or pass on. That is unfortunate for those left with all the responsibility and no directions. What about knowing how to access insurance policies, making decisions on what should happen to pet(s), trying to guess what type of funeral to arrange and attempt to fairly divide or part with material possessions, and so many other painful decisions… all while processing grief. The truth is that most people are not prepared for the day a health crisis, accident, or death hits home. And the majority don’t ever discuss this and then they are blindsided when life takes an unexpected turn. There is tremendous value in putting things in order so that your legacy is a positive one. My name is Stacey Golden-Lisnock and I am passionate about helping people to be prepared in advance of any situation that could leave their family in a chaotic frenzy. All across the world people are living with the consequences of poor planning or no planning in regards to a change in health or the passing of a loved one. In my role as a financial advocate, I’ve helped many people to get a better understanding of why they should be prepared. It does first take understanding before any action can take place. It is oh so disappointing to find out that someone has passed and has not prepared their family for the inevitable event. You can only imagine, if it hasn’t happened to you, how hard it is to get the needed paperwork and get access to important information if no instructions or advance planning is in place. It would be like being in a relay race and the baton is coming your way - for the hand off – but you had no idea you are in a relay race! Do you think you would catch the baton, or would it likely be badly fumbled? It can be difficult to get people to want to sit still long enough to get the needed information together. I found there are three different reactions to this question, “Why haven’t you taken action to ensure a positive legacy? Answer 1 I have an idea that there is more I need to take care of but I’m busy with other matters and other concerns right now – it’s way down on my list of priorities – it will have to wait. Answer 2 I don’t recognize there is work to do – I won’t be convinced nor do I have any plans to be concerned at this time in my life – It’s not on my radar. Answer 3 I feel the urgency, I understand the seriousness, I want to take action – I’m just not sure where to start or who to trust to help me. If you see yourself in any of those 3 reactions then you are in the right place to get some good suggestions which are designed to move you to take action. Since you never know when things will change. So many things can and do happen with no warning. Then the chaos begins and it’s real when it happens in your family. While I am constantly in the conversation, others like you come in and get their legacy needs taken care of and move on and live their life. I will continue having the conversation since everyone needs to know that they hold the key to their loved ones’ future (to the degree that the legacy they leave ultimately affects the quality of life for those left to deal with all of the loose ends and settling of an estate.) We hate to imagine a scenario where we can’t be there for our loved ones, but take a moment now to do just that. Would they be left to mourn in peace or would they be thrust into the stressful situation of trying to get your affairs in order? Would they know what type of funeral you want? Would they know how to access all of the bills and accounts to be resolved? Could they get into your house, Wi-Fi, bank accounts and are they aware of your hidden treasures? Do you know if your pet(s) will end up in a loving situation? Most people will say, "NO", "NO", "NO", and "NO". Don’t be Most People! Stand in the flow. Be the example in the crowd. Help the rest of your circle get prepared too, for their ticket will also get punched one (random) day. Model what legacy is for future generations. That is truly a gift you have to give others. Without help are you going to have all your documents organized so that you and your family can be better prepared in the event of a health crisis, accident, or death? Will you keep yourself accountable and complete the project? Will you think of everything? As a financial professional with over 30 years of planning experience in the financial services industry I’ve seen how people seem to think (and believe) that time is unlimited and the best time to get stuff taken care of is tomorrow. Many turn a blind eye to the reality that bad stuff happens in life. Somehow by not being prepared we are saying, “it won’t happen to me”. We all do this and I am guilty, too. Sometimes we get a wake-up call like I did when I became ill and was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance on December 31st, 2017. Before that day, I too preferred to believe I had plenty of time to get things done. But this way of thinking can have dire consequences. Life and death decisions that need to be made without knowing the wishes of the person can be life changing for the one who is forced to make difficult decisions. Those types of decisions can break families apart. Pets can be carted off to the pound once the owner passes away or is moved to a nursing home IF prior arrangements haven’t been made. Children can end up in foster care. Insurance policies can get cancelled for non-payment if a person falls ill or suffers from dementia and fails to keep up with the bills. Houses can go into foreclosure or even sold out from under the owner as a result of unpaid property tax. Since we don’t know how much time is left, does it seem reasonable to say that the time to get everything up to date and in order is when you are healthy and cognitively sharp? It is never too early to get this done, but it can definitely be too late. Do you know the statistics on dementia? Last I heard – and you can check Google to see if I’m right – I heard that 1 in 3 seniors (over age 80) will have some form of dementia. The one we hear most about is Alzheimers. Remember those people were like you and me not too long ago. It is happening to 33% of the senior population. They are living out their life in a detached reality. That alone should be very concerning to people, but again the blind eye gets credit here and most people are not prepared. Because of my personal story combined with my years as a financial planner I’ve been fortunate to be able to teach others what I have learned. As a bonus, I have turned out to be a pretty good resource for referrals and resources of other needed services. This topic has become my passion. So I put together a program for people who care about having the important things ready before they become urgent. I’m aware that we each have unique situations and the family dynamic is a big piece of the puzzle. But, whether you realize it or not we all are creating our legacy. And without taking any action to be prepared in advance of a health crisis, accident, or death, you’ve made an (unconscious) decision to leave a disorganized mess for someone else to deal with. And that is NOT the definition of a stress-free legacy, is it? If this article motivated to learn more on this topic, please send me a text (714-709-2027) and I will gift you a 30-minute consultation to determine where you are in the process of having the best possible legacy for your family. There is no obligation to work with me, and I may be able to give you valuable insight and resources during our time together. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

Sue Gibson Interviews Chef Ryan Swarthout from Creston Village in Paso Robles
By Susan Gibson 28 Dec, 2020
This one-hour video is helpful to seniors and their families by helping them navigate some of the key milestones during the aging process. The first presentation by Kathy Faenzi, Gerontologist , sets the scene for the aging process and how to manage it with the help of a gerontologist. The gerontologist can outline a framework and can help keep the family and their senior loved ones on the same path forward. The second presentation by Sue Gibson MBA & Certified Senior Advisor gives us the triggers that suggest it is time to move to senior housing, particularly assisted living or memory care.

The packing and unpacking process is much more complex than one would imagine.
