San Antonio Senior Living Options
Four years ago, Lidia began to realize that there was an unmet need in her line of work. Families with aging parents and grandparents were looking for care for their loved ones but they didn’t know where to begin or who to ask for help. That’s when Lidia decided that her knowledge and experience were perfect for building bridges between families and personal care homes and even larger senior living facilities in San Antonio. In 2016, Lidia founded San Antonio Senior Living Options (SASLO) to help connect families to senior living communities across the city.
“I decided that I could be a great resource for families, helping them find the best options for their loved ones,” explained Lidia.
It’s so important, when searching for senior care, to have a trusted source to rely upon. Someone who can compare facilities, help you weigh the pros and cons and make an honest recommendation from the heart as to where your family member will receive the best possible care. Lidia is honored to take on that role for families each and every day.
“SASLO can help in almost every situation,” explained Lidia. “We listen, we ask the right questions and we put the families at ease and give them the support that they need.”
Before helping a family find the best option for their loved one, Lidia first takes into account each senior’s health, the level of care needed, budget and desired location. She assesses each senior individually and works with the family to curate a list of appropriate senior living options. She is with them every step of the way, scheduling tours, setting up meetings with facility owners and caregivers, and always listening and advising with each senior’s best interest at heart.
“It’s all about helping families,” Lidia explained. “Everyone has their own story and I’m just happy that they trust me to help them begin their next chapter.”
In addition to running SASLO, Lidia still continues to work as a caregiver and owns and operates a personal care home of her own. Christine Khetarpal’s father is one of Lidia’s patients.
“I'm eternally grateful that my father with Alzheimer’s has a loving home to go to,” Christine said. “It's such a relief to know he's taken care of by Lidia. I strongly recommend contacting her if you're in need of respite or a caring home for your loved one.”
SASLO’s services are free to families and seniors. If you are thinking about moving your loved one into a personal care home, senior living facility, assisted living facility, memory care unit, or you’re in need of hospice or respite care, SASLO can help you make the right decision. SASLO is committed to following CDC guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lidia is happy to meet with families virtually, over the phone, via Facetime, email and text. Virtual tours are also available at nearly all the personal care homes and facilities SASLO is connected to.
