FAQs

Are we under any pressure to “act” when we meet?

There will be NO PRESSURE from us, whatsoever. However, there may be urgency that arises out of concerns about health issues and other factors that affect your loved one’s safety and well-being. We welcome the input from family and other advisors who can help us understand the time-frame for any move.

Is there a charge for the initial assessment?

Noble Senior Care Advocates offers FREE referral and placement services, including the initial assessment visit, where we determine your loved one’s unique circumstances such as: level of care, financial affordability, how to pay for senior living and care and discuss the best possible care options that are tailored to their unique preferences and needs.

Will I need to call around to different senior living communities?

Absolutely not! There is no need for you to waste your time calling around to different communities only to discover they are not a good fit for your senior loved one’s needs. We have helped countless families throughout the Phoenix valley find a senior care solution that was ideal for them. Our success is based on our experience and insight. We match an older adult’s needs, lifestyle and personality with our insider knowledge of local senior care providers. We also utilize department of health state inspection reports and feedback from other families we work with to ensure a good fit.

How do we look at some of the Communities/Places that would fit our needs?

After we personally meet with you to discuss your unique circumstance, personal preferences and goals, we will be happy to give you a personalized, guided tour of several senior communities that best meet your criteria.

We can educate you and walk you through the process every step of the way, ensuring that all of your questions are answered so that you feel confident and comfortable with your decision. We will help negotiate rates on your behalf, to help accommodate your budget. Noble Senior Care Advocates is sensitive to what is affordable to you and your loved one.

How much is the monthly cost of care if I decide to transition into a senior living community versus In-Home Care (private duty caregivers at home)?

There is no way to give you a quick answer. The range of costs is broad and determined by several factors including:

  1. Private or shared room
  2. “Real estate” factors such as, where the facility is located, how large the room or apartment is, and the amenities included
  3. How much care the individual requires
  4. License of the facility

Once we have done our face-to-face assessment and discussed parameters such as geographic preferences and level of care, we will be able to provide you with a price range of different senior living and care options, comparing costs of In-Home Care versus Assisted Living versus Residential Care Homes.

We work hard to stay within your budget and find senior living and care solutions that work best for you.

Our family disagrees on the best care for Dad and Mom? What do we do?

The most important thing to convey is the need to do what’s best for the safety and well-being of mom or dad. Every family dynamic is different, but it is important to stick to the needs of the individual and foster good communication to ensure everyone is on the same page. Family members who aren’t directly involved frequently may not understand the true condition of mom or dad until they witness it for themselves. Sometimes bringing in a third-party individual can help get everyone on the same page; Noble Senior Care Advocates is here to help in these types of situations.

My loved one is reluctant to move and being stubborn. What can I do?

Talk early and often about your concern for your loved ones’ safety. You care enough to at least say something. Call to speak to our Senior Living Advisors for guidance and suggestions. It’s never too early to explore options and get your preliminary questions answered; should there be a fall or tragedy that requires your loved one to seek assisted living care support with his/her activities of daily living (ADLs: ex; bathing, dressing, grooming, etc.).

How long does it take to find an appropriate senior living community and move in?

This varies with every family we help. We have successfully guided and helped many clients transition into a senior living community the same day or in as little as 24 hours (some families have been in a state of crisis and are forced to make a decision and move the same day). We’ve also had many clients who weren’t quite ready to move, and preferred to wait several months before they moved in; it is an individual choice and is also based on urgency.

Who receives my information after I submit it on your website?

Noble Senior Care Advocates is committed to keeping your information private and it will only be accessible to our local senior care advisors. Once you have submitted your information, a local care advisor will contact you to set up a time to meet with you and your family in person or we can discuss options with you over the phone. We strive to be very personal with our families and hold their hand through this journey, however we know due to different circumstances families may not be able to meet in person. We will adjust to every family’s needs to make this journey and the decision they make as comfortable as possible.

Is there a way to get information without having to give my phone number?

We recognize and respect the sensitivity of sharing information. Please review our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. The questions we ask on our online form enable us to provide a helpful and informative service to those in need of finding senior living options.

Families are welcome to bypass the online form and call 602-903-6365 to speak directly with a senior living advisor.
