Senior Lifestyles Connections, LLC, base out of East Pittsburgh, has been helping older adults with placement in assisted living, personal care, independent living and memory/Alzheimers' care facilities since 2007, yet many seniors still don't know about this valuable service. "Oftentimes, people are faced with a situation like this all of a sudden and are forced to deal with it quickly - and, as a result, it's easy to make hasty decisions that isn't in the best interest of their loved one over the short or long term," says owner Stan Olszewski, who has been doing senior placement for about 10 years. "I'm kind of like a real estate agent in that I help people find desirable places to live in the area they want to be in and in the price range they can afford."
