Amanda is the owner of A Senior Journey. She is so caring and listens to families who need placement for their loved one. She knows and investigates all the homes she recommends- not all placement agencies do the work necessary to find the right fit for the family and their loved one. If you want to be happy that you have found the best placement agency -please call-you will not be disappointed. Diane S. read more

Facing the prospect of placing a loved one in assisted living is devastating. Having to do it under high duress is something no one should have to go through, and who among us comes to such a situation with experience? We needed help, and thanks to fellow yelpers and an A+ accredited rating on the Better Business Bureau, we took a chance on Amanda, and never looked back. Amanda was there for us every step of the way. She is compassionate, but not doting. She is personable and professional. She is business like, but considerate at the same time. Without Amanda, we wouldn't even know where to start. I told her what we needed, when we needed it, and what we could afford. She narrowed it down to 3 places (one of which she had chosen for her own mom recently). I quickly researched the questions to ask ahead of time, but she often beat me to the punch and asked for us. She knows the folks running these places and they know her. If I had tried to cold call these places, I don't know how it would have gone. Once we settled on a place, other obstacles out of our control got thrown in our path, and I had to go back to Amanda again for help and she was right there, finding more selections for us the SAME day. We never felt pressured, although she did help us stay on track. We didn't pay her anything, but we did sign a confirmation acknowledging that she would receive a commission if we successfully placed our family member at any of the places to which she referred us. I am happy with that arrangement. We never felt we were being sold on a place that was subpar. We saw a range of places, got to talk to residents and staff, and made our choice. We were never rushed through the process. Not only did we feel like we were in good hands with Amanda, but we got UNSOLICITED, positive feedback from other professionals who have interacted with Amanda in other cases like ours: various hospital staff, and a woman from the fire department. So, she has built a good reputation across various other disciplines, and I respect that. I recommend A Senior Journey without reservation. read more

Dear Sharon, Thank you for your kind words about Amanda's ability to show assisted living facilities to potential residents and their loved ones.  I have had the opportunity to observe her conscientious work with the elderly in Tucson for over the past 15 years.  She really takes satisfaction finding the right placement for each individual.  She attempts to give each potential resident and their loved one's choices of many types of living situations and facilities.  It is the resident or their family that makes the final choice in their selection.  I understand that sometimes things don't work out and the placement isn't a good fit for the resident or the facility.  Unfortunately, Amanda does not have the jurisdiction over the financial portion of the agreement that is contracted between the client and the facility.  It is the responsibility of the resident or the resident's representative to review the contract of admission before signing the agreement. She has never interfered with this part of the process since each facility is legally accountable for honoring their own contracts.  My suggestion to you is that you review the contract and see what was agreed up between you and the facility upon admission.  It should outline what happens at the termination of residency by either party.  I hope this information was helpful to you in response to your concern.

Amanda (the owner) is a joy to know and I was so glad to have her trust when I was managing senior care and she placed seniors with us. She loves her clients and their families and I have trusted her when referring my family members needing help with placing their loved ones. read more

Amanda is good at showing facilities, but she claims to be an "advocate" for her clients. When I asked her for help with a facility that took advantage of me financially, she did not help - at all! She wouldn't even call the owner (who did not respond to over 15 messages from me). That, to me, is not an advocate. (Yelp shows me as living in San Francisco. I do not. I live in Tucson. read more

I called Amanda late one afternoon and she took the time to talk to me for nearly an hour, listening to my needs and concerns for my Uncle's assisted care placement. The VERY NEXT MORNING she took me on a tour of 5 different locations. With her phenomenal understanding of the industry, she was able to zero in on precisely what was needed. At this writing, 2 months later, I could not be happier with her services and the location she helped me find. She was like a trusted friend who came alongside at a very difficult and overwhelming time and I will forever be grateful to Amanda and A Senior Journey. Thank you Amanda!! read more
