Services

The Personal Placement agency was founded in 1998 to help seniors and their families navigate the senior living search process. Over the years, the senior living industry has evolved and become more complex with many new communities being added to the Pittsburgh region on an ongoing basis. With different levels of care to consider, various amenities and price points, and specialties such as memory care, the search can be overwhelming and many families do not know where to start. This is when we step in with our expertise and guidance. With years of experience behind us, we streamline the process for families and walk you through the entire journey step by step.

We start by listening to learn about your loved ones needs and abilities and what type of setting you are seeking and where. We will talk with you about VA eligibility and help to determine the best price point for the senior based on income and resources.  We will explain the different levels of care, types of accommodations, what is covered and what is not, and work to answer all questions.  We then consider all the criteria and work to create a listing of the best possible communities to meet those needs.  Once the facilities have been determined, tours are scheduled to enable family members to visit each community and talk with staff. Once a decision is made, we obtain any necessary paperwork for admission and help to prepare for move in day.  Our team members are caring, compassionate and detail oriented and will work from the first phone call to move in day to ensure a happy and safe transition for the senior into their new home.  Our referral and placement service is provided at no cost to seniors and their families.

We work from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services licensed state directory, so we work only with those facilities which are properly licensed and inspected in Pennsylvania.
