PLACEMENT SERVICES
LiveWell Placements (a division of FirstLantic) is dedicated to helping our clients find a senior living solution when they no longer wish to live at home or are unable to do so safely. We focus first on understanding the type of care that our clients require — then we develop a specialized solution that meets those requirements. We are here to help so that no family ever has to worry about the care that their loved one is receiving.
Our Personal Approach
Our services are no cost to our clients but that doesn’t mean our clients get less service. We are truly unique among other placement resources because we really care. We are by your side, guiding you through every step of the process.
