Expertise meets empathy

Recommended By Thousands of Families

Options for Senior Living was established in 2003 by Scott M. Fischer, who serves as our founder and all-around mentor. We are a family-owned business founded upon the principle of serving people and helping families who are at a critical time in their lives and need help navigating Scottsdale and Phoenix assisted living facilities.

Preparing every senior citizen for long-term care has been our mission. Over the last 20 years, Scott and our team of dedicated Certified Placement Experts have been instrumental in ensuring that countless families in need are offered sound advice on what to do next.

In addition to this, Scott founded PASRS – the Professional Association of Senior Referral Specialists in 2010, a non-profit trade association established to ensure that a framework of best practices and a code of professional ethics are adhered to in the unregulated industry that is senior care referral. A testament to our dedication and passion for assisting those who are most vulnerable within our society.

Furthermore, we are a proud member of the NPRA – The National Placement & Referral Alliance, which Scott co-founded in 2017. The NPRA aims to cultivate the advancement of professionalism, fairness, and the development of the senior placement and referral industry through collective initiatives to better serve seniors and their families.

We provide guidance and consultation services to help you discover a personalized solution for you, your client, or your aging loved one.

With over 30 years of professional healthcare experience in the Phoenix metro area, Scott and our team of compassionate experts gives us the edge to help you find the most appropriate senior living setting, which may include:

• Independent living communities
• Retirement homes
• Assisted living communities
• Alzheimer’s or dementia-related care facilities (Memory Care)

A proud member of the Better Business Bureau since 2009, we recently received news that we have been chosen as a finalist for the prestigious 2021 Torch Award for Ethics. This nomination solidifies our ongoing commitment to helping those in need with a hyper-localized, family-first approach. 

Hospitals and case managers highly recommend us. So do elder law attorneys, geriatric care managers, and other colleagues due to our vast healthcare experience in the Phoenix metro area.

The Industry

There are many placement and referral agents that work without sufficient training or any certifications. As there is no governance or regulation, there are no governing bodies or watchdog organizations to oversee the senior referral industry as a whole. Due to the lack of barriers to enter this marketplace, the low cost of operations, and the potential of generating high profits for the owners, fly-by-night agencies have run rampant over the past 10 years. 

The result? Countless horror stories of vulnerable seniors being exploited, placed in substandard facilities where they are abused, neglected, or even scammed out of their retirement savings altogether. 

Our Mission

To have every senior citizen prepared for long-term care.

Our Vision

To prepare families for changes in their aging loved one’s lives. We are advocates, educators, and experts in the resources of our community.
