Hello, we are Todd and Kelley Goodman, founders of First Choice Senior Placement.
Our company was born from the challenges that we faced when placing our own family members into assisted living. When we experienced how overwhelming it was to evaluate and find quality care for our loved ones, a passion was born for helping other families work through this difficult process.
We are dedicated to helping our clients every step of the way as they make the transition to assisted care with compassion and understanding. Our care and respect for our clients, combined with our experience and knowledge ensures that each individual and family we help will find the proper placement.
As Certified Senior Advisors (CSA)®, we have dedicated our service to developing an advanced knowledge of aging so we can assist seniors and their families in their time of need. In addition, both of us hold Administrator Certificates for RCFE’s with the California Department of Social Services Licensing Department. These certifications, along with years of service and experience, allow us to provide comprehensive guidance in finding the best options for assisted living the greater Sacramento area has to offer.
How Can First Choice Senior Placement Help?
We understand the challenges families face when looking at assisted living options. There are so many options, unfamiliar terminology, and many seniors are resistant to leaving their homes. We know each situation is unique and we provide the individualized support that is needed to make the transition into senior care.
Our team ensures that seniors and their families feel respected and cared for every step of the way. We take the time to listen, and we find solutions that work.
We provide professional recommendations to Assisted Living, Memory Care, Board & Care, and In Home Care options throughout Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties. We have firsthand knowledge of over 600 licensed providers in the greater Sacramento area, and are well-acquainted with the care services, amenities and pricing these senior living options provide.
Cost is never an issue because we offer our services AT NO COST to the families we serve.
We are dedicated to finding the right solution for every client. We have been through this process ourselves more than once and know that someday we’ll be walking through it with another loved one again. We make sure to treat every client the same way we want to be treated.
The First Choice Senior Placement Team
Our team is made up of caring, experienced professionals, who have extensive knowledge when it comes to the challenges that our elderly loved ones experience such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions that require assisted care.
We are committed to finding the best living situation to suit both the care needs and budget of our clients; to ensure that every client is happy, healthy and thriving in their new environment.
Our First Choice advisors are always up to date with continuing education opportunities to maximize the services provided to our clients. We are familiar with the unique requirements that clients and their families have when seeking elder care in the Greater Sacramento Area.
We provide individualized services to make sure that we address all of the wants and needs of our clients.
What Makes First Choice Senior Placement Different?
We are local and we know our community and the care options the Greater Sacramento area offers at a level that most placement agencies can’t compete with. We have personally reviewed more than 600 care homes in the greater Sacramento area to ensure we are recommending a safe environment with caring staff to the seniors and their families that we work with.
