Finding the right senior living options

Should I move? Should I stay in my home? Anyone can begin a search online, but online networks provide a high volume of the available choices, but cannot match the personalized attention and knowledge of a local senior living/care specialist. Family and friends will often provide suggestions, which can best be considered when channeled through that same local resource. To make the best decision, you need an objective advisor who presents only the options that will help you choose the right community.

Feedback From The Families

Thom and Julie G. (Grand Rapids, MI)

My family started working with Tom after our dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He was very attentive and caring and helped my parents realistically think through all their upcoming needs. Throughout the entire process, we always felt Tom truly had my parent's best interest in mind.

Susan and Chuck A. (Grand Rapids, MI)

We rate Tom’s services as a 10+++! To move from a house to an independent living apartment, we needed a very knowledgeable person, like Tom, to guide us through making the right choice. We highly recommend Tom Carabellese. He is an honest, friendly, and a lovely person.

Ron and Sherry G (Grand Rapids)

Throughout this whole process of finding the right senior living community, Tom has become a supportive and knowledgeable friend. And now, when we hear our friends talking about making their retirement moves, we recommend they call Tom Carabellese for his perspective and expertise in making this important decision.

Navigating a change in living options for our parents was an emotional and complicated process for us. We found Tom Carabellese to be beyond helpful in helping us stay patient in our process and efficient in the breakdown of information for us. We were 100% satisfied with his guidance.
