Why families end up here

Most placement services sell your information. We don't run one.

Search for senior living help online and the usual outcome is a form, then a dozen phone calls before dinner. That's not a placement service — it's a lead auction. We built this differently, on purpose.

The industry default

  • Your contact info sold to multiple facilities at once
  • A call-center advisor reading from a script
  • Recommendations based on which facility pays best
  • No clinical or nutritional review — just availability

Sanblair Senior Living Advisors

  • Your information stays with your advisor, period
  • A physician evaluates each facility under consideration
  • An RDN reviews dietary needs and day-to-day fit
  • Optional add-ons quoted clearly up front — nothing hidden in a "free" service
The difference is credentialed, not marketed

Clinical, nutritional and industry expertise, applied to every placement.

Physician-level evaluation

Every facility we recommend is assessed against clinical staffing ratios, medication management practices, and care-escalation protocols — not just a brochure and a tour.

Nutrition & care-fit assessment

A registered dietitian nutritionist reviews dietary accommodations, dining quality, and day-to-day routines against your loved one's actual needs, not a generic checklist.

FREE to your family

There's no fee to you at any point in the process. Add-ons beyond placement — move, downsizing, and more — are optional and priced for your situation.

How it works

Three conversations, not three months.

01

Care discovery call

A single advisor learns the medical, financial, and personal picture — once, not repeated to five different people.

02

Clinical & nutrition review

We shortlist three facilities and personally evaluate each one against clinical and dietary criteria before you ever tour.

03

Decide, and beyond

We support you through the decision and stay engaged after move-in, with optional add-on support if you want more help.

What we look for

A good community feels like home, and holds up under review.

Behind every recommendation is a clinical look at the things that shape daily life: care, food, community and surroundings.

Pricing

FREE to you. Every time.

Placement guidance never costs your family anything, from the first call through move-in. If you'd like extra support beyond placement — a move, downsizing, an estate sale, ongoing advocacy — we can introduce you to a vetted partner, priced for your situation.

We are compensated by the communities we work with, never by families, and that never changes which community we recommend.
Add-ons

More support if you want it, quoted for your situation.

Placement is always free. If you'd like more help beyond placement, we can connect you with a vetted partner for the following, priced for the specific scope of your family's situation.

Move support

We connect you with a vetted senior move manager who schedules movers and oversees move day, so your family isn't managing logistics alone.

Downsizing support

We connect you with a specialist for sorting, donation coordination, and space planning for the new home.

Estate sale support

We connect you with a trusted local estate sale partner to help settle the rest of the home.

Extended advocacy

We connect you with a geriatric care manager for ongoing check-ins and support after move-in, beyond our standard follow-up.

Every partner is vetted by our team before we make an introduction. Because costs vary by scope and by market, pricing for each is discussed and quoted during your consultation.

Who's behind the evaluation

A clinical team behind every placement.

Sanblair Senior Living Advisors was started by a physician and a registered dietitian who believed a placement decision this important deserves a clinical standard, not just a sales process. Today that standard is carried by a growing team of physicians, registered dietitians and senior living industry experts, who work together on every family we take on.
