Horizontal Rule

Linda Halloran and Karen Paule developed the concept for the Personal Placement website. They wanted placement in assisted living to be as personal as possible and wanted to provide families with a way to search and view assisted living communities online, within one website, in the comfort of their home or office.

"I love the idea we can provide family members with photographs and detailed information about assisted living facilities with just a click. We have made it easy for families to look over all the possibilities and choose to receive brochures from those communities they are most interested in. We are also available by phone to answer any questions about assisted living in general or any particular community."

"We have a high elderly population in this area, and therefore, many assisted living communities to choose from. It can be a difficult time for families to navigate the healthcare and senior housing system. I am glad we can provide specific information to people about assisted living care at the time when they need it most. I am happy to serve the people in the very community that I call my home."
