We provide personalized attention to assist you in finding safe and secure living arrangements in a manner most comfortable to you.
For your convenience, our Placement Specialist will come to you to evaluate and discuss your immediate or future needs.

Ongoing Support
Our services don't end when you decide on a property. We will continue to conduct follow-up calls to ensure your satisfaction and care needs are being met. We know things can change. If after a time you are not happy, we can reevaluate and help find another property that better serves you.

Finding A Place to Call Home
Great care and understanding is needed when deciding on a community that you or your loved one will want to call home. There are numerous factors to consider - the area, type of dwelling, environment, care needs, amenities, activities, proximity to friends and family, preparing for the move, cost and fees, licensure and certifications.
Reduce Stress and Shorten the Process
Not only have we partnered with independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, we also don't blind refer, meaning we have toured and met with administrators or owners of every community we recommend.
As a result, 1st Meridian Placement Services can:
- Provide superior access to high-quality living choices.
- Quickly eliminate properties that won’t meet your needs.
- Confidently share details and recommend suitable properties.
- Provide information to access grants and other assistance.
- Refer an array of professional resources to assist with legal, financial, or fiduciary needs.
As part of our service, it is our pleasure to pick you up and take you to visit communities, join you on your tours, and explore locations that meet your needs. We can even help you move.
