How Concierge Care Advisors Helped a Daughter Find the Perfect Adult Family Home for Her Mom

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a woman whose mother had moved into an adult family home just a few months earlier. On the surface, everything about the home seemed perfect: brand-new furnishings, a great location, and friendly caregivers—or so it appeared.

But during every visit, the daughter would hear the same complaint: her mom didn’t feel welcomed. Despite the home’s appealing aesthetics, something wasn’t quite right. The daughter couldn’t understand why a place that looked so wonderful wasn’t making her mom happy.


When “Perfect on Paper” Falls Short

Frustrated and uncertain, the daughter reached out to Concierge Care Advisors after seeing our positive reviews on social media. When we first spoke, she shared that she had already visited 15 adult family homes over the past week but hadn’t found anything that felt like the right fit. Nothing she saw truly reassured her that her mom would be comfortable and happy.

That’s when we stepped in. Within 24 hours, our team of social workers identified three homes that met all her requirements, including:

  • Affordable pricing
  • Convenient location
  • Caregiver expertise with relevant medical backgrounds
  • Good reviews from other families

Exploring New Options with a Fresh Perspective

We arranged tours of the three homes, and the results were immediate. After visiting the first home, the daughter told me it was already better than all 15 she had seen on her own. She felt confident that one of these three would be the perfect place for her mom.

The second home exceeded her expectations even further, and for a moment, she considered skipping the third home since it was a little farther away than she had hoped. However, since we already had an appointment, we decided to keep an open mind and visit the final option.


Finding “The One”

From the moment the daughter walked through the door of the third home, she knew it was the right fit. The owners personally greeted us, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Several caregivers were actively engaging with residents, and the house was immaculate, cheerful, and beautifully decorated for the holidays.

One detail stood out in particular: One of the owners shared the same ethnic background as the mother, creating an instant connection. This cultural alignment gave the daughter confidence that her mom would feel comfortable and at home in this new environment.

Within just a few days, the arrangements were made, and her mother was moved to her new home. The difference was immediate—her mom was relaxed, content, and at ease. The daughter felt a tremendous sense of relief, knowing her mom was finally in the right place, surrounded by compassionate caregivers.


Why Working with a Care Advisor Makes a Difference

After the move, the daughter kept telling me, “Why didn’t I contact you sooner? You would’ve saved me so much time and effort!” It’s a sentiment I hear often—many families spend countless hours searching on their own, only to realize later how much easier it is to work with a care advisor.

At Concierge Care Advisors, we understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate senior care options alone. Our team has the expertise and network to find homes that meet personalized needs, ensuring the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
