Mike at Prime Senior Placement was extremely helpful in finding my father a new home after some very complicated and challenging times. If it wasn’t for Mike, I’m not sure what we would have done. His thoughtfulness, consideration, and genuine kindness made my family and me feel confident throughout the entire process that we were in good hands. He provided all the information and assistance we needed and connected us with many other thoughtful and caring people. Prime Senior Placement is truly a blessing when it comes to assisting seniors in any way possible. We are incredibly grateful for Mike and all of his help and highly recommend Prime Senior Placement to anyone who needs assistance finding the right care and living situation for a loved one.

When you need help finding assisted living in St. Louis, call Mike Sonntag with Prime Senior Placement Service before you do anything else. I honestly can't imagine going through this process without him. When my mom needed assisted living, I had no idea where to start. Mike spent time getting to know her situation and recommended a few communities that fit her needs. Every place we toured was a realistic option, which saved us any second guessing. The biggest difference was how he approached the process. He never pushed us toward one community or tried to rush a decision. When we had questions, he gave us straightforward answers. When something wasn't the right fit, he said so. That honesty took a huge amount of stress off our family. If you're searching for assisted living in St. Louis or need a senior placement service, I recommend Mike Sonntag and Prime Senior Placement Service without hesitation. I would tell any family facing this decision to make him their first call.

Incredibly knowledgeable, detailed oriented, compassionate, and meticulous w follow up/follow through. Senior placement and anything “The Home” related is so hard for everyone involved— such a seemingly lose-lose situation. Here, I found a bright light to help navigate through a dark place. Highly recommend.
