Next Steps Senior Placement began when owner Cameron Crawford found her own family in a time of crisis and had nowhere to turn for guidance. She realized during the process how beneficial it would have been to have someone walk alongside her. So began Next Steps Senior Placement. We bring hands-on help and experience to guide you towards the community that fits your needs.
We are here to simplify a process that can feel overwhelming.
At Next Step Senior Placement, we help educate you and your loved one on the process of finding the right living option for you. You should feel confident in the home your loved one transitions to. We make sure that all of your options fit your needs, are in the right location, and match your financial situation.
We love to introduce good people to good places. When things seem impossible, we help you find that solution you have been searching for desperately. We genuinely care about where your next step takes you.
Sitting at her preschooler’s soccer game, Cameron's life shifted when her mom disclosed her Alzheimer's diagnosis. Cameron was instantly inducted into the Sandwich Generation “Club” alongside 2.5 million other family caregivers in the US. She grappled with the dual responsibility of caring for her elderly parent and raising young children. The diagnosis plunged her family into chaos, leaving her feeling profoundly isolated.
In her quest to find suitable care for her mother, Cameron recognized the complex challenges involved in developing a comprehensive plan. This realization led her to commit full-time to simplifying the overwhelming process.
Armed with a non-profit background, an MBA, and a fervent dedication to caring for both the caregiver and elderly parent, Cameron founded Next Steps Senior Placement. Serving as a steadfast companion for those navigating the emotional journey of transitioning loved ones from home, the organization reflects her commitment.
Acknowledging the need for a knowledgeable guide, Cameron works closely with clients, streamlining the search for communities that match their budget, care needs, and desired locations, saving families valuable research time.
Driven by a passion for assisting families and alleviating the stress of this challenging period, Cameron adds a personal touch to her role. A Certified Senior Advisor and 2021-2023 President of the Colorado Placement and Referral Alliance, she actively contributes to the local senior care community. Featured on PBS's "Empowered Seniors" and the creator of her engaging Facebook Group, "Aging Parent Tribe - Denver," Cameron believes a challenging caregiver crisis can foster a beautiful community and provide strength, education, and support while offering a free service for families to find the best senior living options.
• We love to meet face-to-face. Anytime we can meet our client in person - it helps us put a face to a name and better understand what type of community might be a good fit.
