When it comes to senior living, hundreds of different options and resources offering a wide range of individual care services, socializing opportunities and pricing options are available in Ventura County. It is common to feel overwhelmed in the search process—and that's why the professionals at Senior Choice Care Connections are dedicated to helping empower families to make a confident decision, at no charge!
“If you don't know where to begin when looking at the myriad senior care options, contact us for personal assistance from one of our helpful advisors who will assist in finding a facility that is within your budget and checks all your essential care boxes,” says Jill Waters, founder of Senior Choice Care.
Who is Senior Choice?
Driven by passion, ambition and over 10 years of experience in senior living, Jill established Senior Choice, LLC, in 2022 to support families on their quest to find the perfect senior living facility. The family owned and operated service provides continued guidance from knowledgeable advisors from beginning to end, answering questions in person or on the phone, providing solutions and referring families to the best communities or services that match each person’s most important preferences.
Whether looking for independent or assisted living, a residential care home, memory care facility or home care services, Senior Choice will pair clients with the community or services that best fits their individual needs.
Why choose Senior Choice?
“Sit back and relax while Senior Choice does all the legwork,” says Jill. “Our aim is to narrow down the options to a handful of communities that best fit your lifestyle and budget, all at no cost to you.”
How is the service free of charge?
Once families decide which community or agency is the best fit for them, Senior Choice receives a “referral fee” from that specific community or agency as a "thank you" for our work.
