PHOENIX — Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior placement and referral service, announced today it is offering dementia post-diagnosis guidance and free care consultations to support World Alzheimer’s Month, an international campaign that recognizes the impact of dementia and how to act to support those affected. This year’s theme, ‘Know Dementia, Know Alzheimer’s’ continues on from the 2021 campaign, which focused on diagnosis and the warning signs of dementia. In 2022, the campaign will have a special focus on post-diagnosis support.

Assisted Living Locators provides the full continuum of care for people living with dementia and families following a diagnosis. The service offers FREE guidance in locating quality assisted living and in-home care support. Throughout September, Assisted Living Locators’ 140 franchise offices across the U.S. are offering free dementia care consultations, participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s fundraising events, and engaging social media wearing purple to show solidarity for those affected.

“All of our senior care advisors are dementia care certified, which puts us in a unique position to help families across the country,” said Angela Olea, RN Assisted Living Locators CEO. “Our dementia care training enables us to provide much-needed support to families, educating them about the disease and what facilities are best suited for their loved ones. We will help you better prepare, plan, and adapt to a dementia diagnosis.”

Olea noted that having a locally based senior care advisor is an advantage. “Our advisors have a pulse on local senior care options, costs, availability, and which communities are in good standing,” she explained. “They answer all of your questions, personally accompany you on tours, work as your advocate, and guide you to find the right senior living solution whether it be in-home care support, independent living, assisted living, or memory care.”

PHOENIX — Assisted Living Locators, a leading senior placement and referral service, set a new monthly record in franchise growth by awarding a dozen franchise agreements in August. The franchise development milestone underscores the needs of seniors, the most vulnerable population, and growing demand for more businesses that serve them.

“The needs of an aging population continue to grow and so too does Assisted Living Locators,” said Angela Olea, RN Assisted Living Locators CEO. “The senior care services we provide will forever be essential. That was true during the pandemic, and it will continue into the future as we face a possible recession. We continue to experience a surge in interest from franchisee candidates who recognize the senior space growth potential. Our franchise owners and home office team have worked tirelessly to bring the best care and service to our clients as the demand for our services accelerates.”
