Board and Care Homes are more of a typical house setting, often in a 6 bed home. These homes often provide a greater level of hands-on care ideal for more delicate situations and can often work greater care needs around budget constraints. These smaller home settings typically include meals, housekeeping, laundry, medication management, personal care, and include a limited amount of social activities.

Memory Care refers to residential settings designed especially for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Often part of a greater community, Memory Care environments focus on the safety of the resident and offer the extra specialized care required as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia progress beyond what many families can adequately accommodate at home.

Respite Care refers to short term care, with a stay often under 30 days. ESP knows the importance of the peace of mind Respite Care can provide whether it’s to provide the extra help needed coming out of an illness or medical procedure, or simply to offer primary caregivers an opportunity to handle other life matters that come up or even take a vacation.

We know caring for a loved one is a full time commitment. Situations often arise, albeit a vacation or otherwise that present a difficult situation and subsequent void in the chain of care. Through Respite Care, ESP has you confidently covered when you seek temporary care for your family member or yourself.

Assisted Living provides help taking care of oneself on a widely sliding scale based on the individual’s needs in a cost-effective and dignified living environment. Clients receive help with everyday tasks and often some health care in a residential community that suits them best. We like to emphasis an Assisted Living philosophy that honors the resident’s independence, i.e. “we will help you take care of yourself” over “we will take care of you.”

Independent Living refers to simplifying life with an easy-to-maintain private apartment or home within a community of other like-minded seniors in an engaging environment best suited to the individual. As the name implies, Independent Living is just that: the ability to maintain one’s residence & lifestyle, but often with tasks like weekly cleaning & daily cooking taken care of if or when one chooses. This also provides peace of mind that one can age in place, with living assistance readily available should the future require it.

Our no-cost process begins with connecting to your ESP Senior Placement Specialist by completing our short form or calling us. You’ll speak directly to an ESP Senior Placement Specialist, not a salesperson, who can relate to your needs and concerns. We’ll review the basics, including care requirements, location & budget, then we’ll gather the specifics like lifestyle & interests. The more information you provide, the more we know, the better the fit.

ESP then quickly reviews your assessment & creates a “next steps” roadmap inclusive of the best home options to address you or your loved one’s immediate and long term needs.

ESP books guided home tours for you based on your selections. By “guided,” we mean an ESP counselor accompanies you, sharing unbiased insights and recommendations to help assure that all your concerns get addressed and that the right choice is made 1st time.

We know time is at a premium, so we build a tour plan and itinerary, set community expectations, and maximize your time while keeping the sales and marketing teams from contacting you directly. We provide one trusted point of contact to coordinate this process.

Once you’ve chosen a community, we coordinate and create a transition plan assuring a successful, smooth & hassle-free move & placement.
