What does ethical placement mean in practice? 🤔

It's more than just a principle—it's a whole process! The NPRA best practices emphasize transparent communication, recommending communities that truly meet your needs, and providing support throughout the entire transition journey.

When you choose to partner with a SoAPRA member, you're aligning with someone who is dedicated to protecting families and advancing our industry. 💪

Stay Safe This Winter! ❄️

As winter approaches, it's important to remember that older adults face higher risks of falls, medication complications, and isolation. Data from the CDC and NIH highlights these challenges. That's why SoAPRA advisors are here to help create proactive plans to keep our seniors safe and supported.

The SoAPRA - Chapter of NPRA December event was held this evening. It was hosted at Inspirations of River Centre!

We can’t thank April Canez enough for all her hard work getting this set up and how beautiful it turned out. She was able to provide for us such a good indoor/outdoor space to enjoy. Couldn’t have been better weather either!

The band played wonderfully, the food was delicious and the drinks were flowing nicely!

As you may know we as a team started this year adopting a community that is a member of SoAPRA for our Giving Tree, 🎄we asked the community to come up with some residents that don’t have any family or friends. We also asked what these residents would like for Christmas. At the last event four of our five Giving Tree residents were adopted and tonight our last resident was taken with love from an employee at David Karp’s office. This has brought such joy to us this holiday season and we hope to be able to continue this in years to come!🎄

So if you are interested in joining SoAPRA as a member or a community, please use the bar code on the flyer to sign up!

We will choose another community next year to adopt their residents without family.

Why Trusted Professionals Matter 🌟

When it comes to senior living, families often seek advice from neighbors, friends, or well-meaning professionals who may not have the full picture. While their intentions are good, the information they provide can be outdated or incomplete—lacking details on care levels, licensing rules, pricing changes, or state visit outcomes.

That’s where SoAPRA comes in! Our members are trained, ethical placement professionals who have a deep understanding of the entire senior living landscape in Southern Arizona—not just a few communities.

We are here to provide families with accurate, current, and unbiased information so that decisions are based on safety and fit, not hearsay.

Remember, trusted guidance protects our older adults. ❤️

Support for Case Managers and Social Workers 🌟

Case managers and social workers juggle heavy caseloads, and tracking updates across 300+ licensed care facilities in the Greater Tucson area can be overwhelming.

That's where SoAPRA placement professionals come in! We provide vital support by keeping up-to-date on openings, pricing, care-level changes, and state-visit outcomes — all the info families need to make informed decisions.

This partnership fosters smoother, safer transitions for the older adults we serve.

Avoiding Crisis-Driven Moves

✨ A calm and early conversation can prevent rushed decisions during a crisis. By planning ahead, we can protect our older adults, reduce hospital visits, and ease the burden on caregivers.

Planning early gives families more choices and leads to better outcomes! 💪❤️
