Assisted Living Advisor in Sussex, Essex, Passaic, North Warren County & North Morris County and parts of Union & Hudson Counties

My wife and I moved to Montclair, NJ over twenty years ago to raise our family and, though the kids are grown, we still greatly enjoy all that New Jersey offers! As your Senior Care Advisor, I will utilize my extensive relationship management experience to help seniors and their families understand and determine the appropriate type of senior care which will allow your elderly loved ones to thrive and the family confident they have made the right decision.

In this area Assisted Living communities usually start around $5,750 per month and Memory Care facilities starting around $13,000 per month, but I will work within your budget to find a great fit for you and your loved ones.

I recently met Rich Lanning who was referred by a friend to assist me in finding a Memory Care facility for my sister. Rich proved to be the consummate professional who went over and beyond to assist me. His quick response to my phone call and subsequent follow up was very helpful in easing the burden of my search. My sister is now in a wonderful care facility. I highly recommend Rich.

Rich Lanning of this company guided me successfully to Brandywine of Governor's Crossing. He checked all the boxes for my criteria for my family member and communicated with me if I had any questions. He was a supportive advocate.

I recently worked with Rich Lanning when trying to find a Memory Care for my father who was recently diagnosed with vascular dementia. Considering my father went from being independent to going to assisted living in a matter of weeks, it was a small amount of time to make a decision. Rich listened to my concerns and made recommendations based on my needs. He was quick, responsive and extremely knowledgeable in the entire process. Able to get me appointments for tours quickly and gave great advice along the way. Where we ended up placing my father was perfect and so far he’s enjoying it. Couldn’t have done it without Rich. Highly recommend!

I was fortunate to reach out to Rich Lanning the day after Christmas to advise our family in finding an assisted living location in the Wayne area for my mother. By the next day, Rich provided us a list of recommended facilities, based on our needs, and had scheduled the visits. Unfortunately, my mom's health suddenly changed leading to a hospital and rehab stays but Rich continued to provide support and advice through the next month including joining me on site tour. His advice, expertise, knowledge, and compassion was of immense value to me and my family. We highly recommend him and have done so to friends and relatives and will continue to do so.

Assisted Living Locators was exactly what I needed when looking for a top of the line facility for my parents. I had zero knowledge or experience walking into this daunting task of finding my parents a new home, but Rich made it easy for me. We had a discovery call and he was off to the races. We saw many different places over the course of a couple of months, narrowed it down to a few, took my parents on a tour, got feedback, saw a couple more and we landed on the ideal location. Rich did all the heavy lifting, all I needed to do was show up and give feedback. I highly recommend Assisted Living Locators, you will not be disappointed. Finding a place suitable for your loved ones is not easy, but Rich made it as good an experience as it could possibly be.

Rich is absolutely AMAZING. When we faced sudden caregiving responsibilities for our parents and were completely lost about where to turn to and what to do, Rich was recommended to us, and he has single-handedly been the best resource, partner, supporter, and navigator of the assisted living/memory care space imaginable. Even now, over a month after our parents moved into a facility, he calls regularly, constantly checking in with us, providing us new resources to assist us with our ongoing caregiving responsibilities, and proactively reaches out to the facility when we have new questions or face challenges. He is always available, extremely quick at getting back to us, kind, compassionate, and makes you feel like you are the only person he is working with - he is that focused on you and helping your family find the best outcome. When I think back on the last few months, I cannot possibly imagine having gotten through it without Rich. He has been a beacon of light, and we are so insanely grateful to him and his services.

Senior centers are communities where seniors socialize and receive supportive services customized to their cognitive and physical needs. They offer common areas for engaging and recreational activities, along with access to support that promotes independent living. Essentially, they provide invaluable programs and connections that allow seniors to maintain their independence and enhance their quality of life.

You might encounter the acronym ADL when looking into assisted living communities or during your consultation with us. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the fundamental activities a person needs to do consistently to live autonomously and maintain their self-care. Healthcare providers and assisted living centers often use them to evaluate a person's degree of self-sufficiency and the tier of support they may require. Simple needs could include light cleaning, while more significant support might involve help with activities such as bathing and feeding.

The most popular support for seniors is daily assistance, including dressing, hygiene, and meal preparation. In addition, medication management, transit, and tidying are other highly sought-after services. Through consistent engagement with their care professional, seniors experience emotional support and companionship.
