Experience families can lean on

I'm Lee Tan, founder of Compassionate Care Senior Placement. For more than 30 years I've worked in caregiving and real estate. In Oregon, I operated a foster care home — and the way clients found me then is the way I still work today: a hospital case worker would call when a patient could no longer live alone, and I would go to the hospital and assess that client together with the case worker before anyone talked about a move.

When I retired from foster care, I found I missed the work more than I expected — above all, the loving, daily connection with my seniors. The conversations, the trust, knowing each person as a person: that was the heart of it, and it's what I still want to do. So I started this practice, and I keep it deliberately small. Every senior and every family gets my personal, one-on-one attention — no call centers, no handoffs, no being passed from one stranger to the next.

Now based in Florida, I bring that same hands-on approach to families in Volusia County — and I continue to serve the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, where those hospital relationships were built. My three decades in real estate help with the rest of the transition, too — but to be clear, I am not a licensed realtor at the moment. My license is inactive, so for the sale of the family home I refer families to licensed local agents I trust — and I know what a fair, well-run sale looks like. The placement, the home sale referral, and the estate sale referral that clears the house: one guide, start to finish.

What we do

One guide for the whole senior move

Most families face three hard jobs at once: finding the right care, selling the house, and clearing a lifetime of belongings. We guide the placement ourselves and connect you with trusted local professionals for the home sale and the estate sale — in the right order.

Senior placement referrals

We learn your loved one's care needs, budget, and preferred area, then match them to licensed assisted living and memory care communities that genuinely fit — not whichever community pays the most.

  • Personal assessment — in person, at home or at the hospital
  • A small, personal practice — one-on-one attention for every senior and family, never a call center
  • A shortlist of licensed communities matched to care level and budget
  • Accompanied tours and honest comparisons of cost and care
  • Support through paperwork, move-in, and the first weeks after
Free to families — we are paid by our partner communities under signed referral agreements.

Home sale referrals

A move into care usually means a house to sell — often the family's largest asset. We are not a real estate brokerage, and Lee is not a licensed realtor at this time, so we refer families to licensed local agents we trust. With 30+ years in real estate — buying, renovating, and selling homes — Lee helps you pick the right agent and understand the offers, so the sale funds the care your loved one needs without the family carrying it alone.

  • Referrals to licensed local real estate agents in both service areas
  • Realistic guidance on pricing, condition, and timing, from 30+ years in the business
  • Clean-out and estate sale timing coordinated with the listing
  • Experience with rentals, Section 8, and out-of-state owners
Please note: Lee Tan is not currently a licensed realtor — her license is inactive. Every home sale is handled by a licensed local agent we refer you to.

Estate sale referrals

When the house is sold, a lifetime of furniture and belongings remains. We refer families to trusted local estate sale professionals and coordinate the timing, so the home is cleared respectfully and nothing of value is given away.

  • Referrals to established local estate sale companies
  • Timing coordinated with the home sale and move-in date
  • Donation and clean-out options for what doesn't sell

How placement works

The same way it worked when case workers called my care home in Oregon — personal, unhurried, and based on seeing your loved one, not just a file.

1

The conversation

We talk through your loved one's health, daily needs, budget, and where they'd like to live. No cost, no obligation.

2

The assessment

I meet your loved one in person — at home, or at the hospital alongside their case worker — to understand the care level they truly need.

3

Tours & shortlist

You get a short list of licensed communities that fit, and I accompany you on tours so you can compare care and cost with experienced eyes.

4

Move-in & the house

We help with the move itself — then, when you're ready, referrals for the home sale and estate sale, arranged in the right order.

For hospitals & assisted living communities

A referral partner who has sat on your side of the table

Compassionate Care Senior Placement is building its partner network in Volusia County, Florida and the Rogue Valley, Oregon. We are currently inviting hospitals, discharge teams, and assisted living and memory care communities to sign referral agreements with us.

For hospital case workers & discharge planners

When a patient can't return home alone, one call starts the placement. You'll be working with someone who has done exactly this before — from the receiving end.

  • In-person assessment at your hospital, together with your case worker
  • Families guided through options, tours, and paperwork — off your desk
  • Faster, better-matched discharges to licensed communities
  • One point of contact across both Florida and Oregon placements

For assisted living & memory care administrators

We refer residents who have been personally assessed and matched to your care level and price range — people who are ready to move, not cold leads.

  • Signed referral agreement in place before the first referral
  • Standard referral compensation, paid per the agreement after move-in
  • Pre-assessed residents matched to your community's care capabilities
  • We only refer to licensed communities — never unlicensed homes
