Southern Arizona Placement and Referral Alliance

We are the Southern Arizona chapter of NPRA. We strengthen ethical standards, unite professionals, and support families navigating senior care.

We educate, connect, and advocate for quality, transparency, and Family Choice in every placement. The Senior Placement & Referral industry remains largely unregulated, without mandatory licensing or oversight by a governing body. Families often ask, “How do we find a reputable agency to help us through the challenging process of finding a home for our senior or disabled loved one?”

NPRA (National Placement & Referral Alliance) steps in to provide guidance and standards by:

- Defining a clear scope of practice for the Senior Referral Industry across the country.
- Establishing, promoting, and advocating for minimum ethical standards and best practices.
- Providing resources to help families find senior referral providers who adhere to NPRA's high standards of conduct. NPRA’s Best Practices ensure that placement professionals operate with integrity, providing families the confidence to make informed decisions. Our members voluntarily uphold these standards to protect, educate, and serve the public, fostering trust in senior living placements.

Still thinking about last week's amazing presentation! 🧠 Changing our approach to focus on the abilities rather than the diagnosis makes all the difference in dementia care.
We are so lucky to have professionals in Tucson dedicated to implementing these best practices. Let's keep the momentum going!

Our SoAPRA - Chapter of NPRA event this evening was hosted by CASCADES OF TUCSON, one of our hosts Megan Hiatt had a lovely room set aside for us with delicious tapas! It was so nice to get a chance to walk through the newly remodeled hallway leading to the dining and bisto! All indoors now!

During our event, we heard from Meredith Kuhn and Shelby Trozzi, Cascades certified Champion Teachers. They demonstrated some creative techniques to help caregivers take better care of our memory care residents. And I think we could all use more training in that area.

We had an incredible showing from the community and we hope more of you will come to our next event!

We had our February event, Navigating care across the continuum last night. It was hosted by BridgeWater Assisted Living and we wanted to give a special thanks to Lorell O'Dell for setting this up so beautifully! There was plenty of space for everyone and we greatly appreciate the tapas and drinks!

We just wrapped up an incredible, heartwarming panel discussion with top experts in senior care, diving into the invaluable benefits of Private Duty Care, Home Health, Palliative Care, and Hospice. Quizzed by our very own Tuyen Johnston, MSW.

Here are some of our key takeaways on the positives of choosing in-home care:
✨ Personalized Independence: Private duty care allows seniors to maintain their daily routines, dignity, and independence in the comfort of their own homes.
🤝 Holistic Support: Home health services provide skilled, specialized care that aids recovery and improves quality of life right where it’s most comfortable.
❤️ Focus on Quality of Life: Palliative and Hospice care experts highlighted how these services prioritize comfort, pain management, and emotional support for both seniors and their families.
💡 Peace of Mind: The panel emphasized how these care models reduce stress, providing tailored support that strengthens family bonds.
It’s not just about care—it’s about enabling seniors to live their best lives, surrounded by comfort and love.
