Navigating the Process
We meet with you to get a thorough understanding of your loved one’s needs and preferences, to ensure we help you find the best senior living community for them.
How It Works
Initial introduction with a senior advisor by submitting a short form or calling us directly. We will address your needs and concerns and review the basics, including care requirements, location & budget then we’ll gather the specifics like lifestyle & interests. The more you provide, the more we know, the better the fit!
We attend community tours with you, coordinate visits based on your preferences, needs and feedback. Share unbiased insights & recommendations to help ensure your concerns are addressed, so you are able to make the right choice the FIRST time. We will be there with you throughout the entire process – saving you time and frustration while tapping into our professional experience, knowledge, advocacy and trusted resources! NO COST TO YOU or YOUR FAMILY!
Disclosure: We ask that you do not reach out to communities on your own if you are seeking our professional guidance, this includes providing your contact information online when searching communities. It could lead to Illuminate not being able to represent you due to communities already having you in their database. We offer a FREE Valued Service, boutique concierges approach and are only compensated by communities when they know we are representing you when you first reach out.
We build a tailored plan and itinerary for you. We discuss and set community expectations to ensure we maximize your time and effort. A trusted advisor will be there every step of the way!
In cooperation with your chosen community, we create a transition plan assuring a successful, smooth & hassle-free move-in & placement.
"Illuminate Senior Services is so professional and truly cares about helping others in their time of need. Missy was an angel to our family, she took the time out to help me understand our many options. She simplified the whole process and my family and I are so pleased at how easy she made things for us while finding a new home for my mother."

"Missy is a compassionate soul who went above and beyond to ensure I was aware of the best options in Columbus for our particular needs. She held my hand through a really difficult time and allowed my brothers and I to focus on my dad while she coordinated the tours and helped us navigate which communities made sense for our family long term. If you are in need of finding the perfect community and want to get it right the first-time, call Missy! I wish I had known Missy earlier, she could have saved us the headache the first time around."

"My husband had a stroke and I was told he couldn’t go home and was being discharged from rehab. I didn’t know what to do or where to start besides this long list I was given. I only had two days to figure it all out and I was so stressed. My mom had worked with Missy previously and gave me her name. I called her and she started working on placement that evening. She made some phone calls and connected with people that allowed me to find a community that fit our needs by the next day. I don’t know what I would have done if Missy wasn’t there to help us. She made the process so much easier and allowed us to focus on my husband’s recovery instead of trying to figure something out that I had no idea about."
