Helping You Every Step of the Way

Compassionate Senior Solutions is a no-fee senior placement service that guides families through the difficult decision to move their loved one into the appropriate senior living environment.


Compassionate Senior Solutions offers an unprecedented, caring approach in helping to transition seniors and their families. We provide an in-depth consultation with each family, and personally accompany our clients to the communities we identify as most suitable. We advocate on their behalf and simplify the search process, alleviating tension so families and their aging parent can make a rational, informed decision. We customize the search for each client and never send out generic referrals based on a computer-generated form.

Sandra has been an exceptional partner in finding the ideal retirement community for my active 93-year-old mother. I relied heavily on Sandra’s expertise and am grateful for her compassion and trustworthiness. She’s earned her stellar reputation and is a credit to this industry.

We LOVE what we do and we are here to help!

Meet Sandra Heller

Sandra Heller founded Compassionate Care Solutions in 2006 because she saw a need for the struggle that families endure while placing their elderly loved ones in assisted living communities. "We never wanted to be internet-based," says Sandra of her mission in starting the hands-on, concierge-style service as an impassioned advocate for families to ensure they find the most appropriate living environment for their aging loved one.

With more than 12 years of experience in the senior living placement business, Sandra has worked with hundreds of families, and treated each and every one with compassion, professionalism and a caring heart.

"Sandra Heller knows the features of numerous communities and makes recommendations based upon each client's individual interests and needs. I relied heavily on Sandra’s expertise and have been grateful for her patience, compassion, availability and trustworthiness."J. Perlmutter, Client
