What Families Say
1 / 4
When I met with Maggie, she gave me so much of her time and I felt like she was trying to get all the details; she wanted to get to know the person she was trying to place so she could make sure that it would be a solid match. I felt no pressure to move forward on anyone's timeline but mine, she did the leg work to find great options for us, and she followed through to make sure we got setup and moved in properly once we made a decision.
Robin B. Maggie facilitated so much for us—we still can’t believe we found her. Our family was overwhelmed with a home full of decades of belongings, and we felt completely frozen. Maggie knew exactly what to do. She connected us with services we never would have found on our own, getting us from point A to point B. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sonoran Senior Solutions!
John & Ann From the first phone call, it felt like we were talking to family. Alia listened to our concerns and took so much stress off our shoulders. The Sonoran team truly cares about the families they help, and we’re forever grateful for their support.
David C. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside Maggie, the owner of Sonoran Senior Services. She is so personable and has amazing beside manners. Maggie takes time to fully get to know her client. She takes the time to understand her clients needs and desires. With that very important information she gatherers, she helps individuals and families of loved ones struggling to find a safe and loving, forever home, navigate through the Assisted Living Community to find her client a home that is a great fit! Bless you Sonoran Senior Services!!!

Meet Maggie McGrath, CSA
Maggie spent nearly 20 years advocating for loved ones in crisis and end-of-life care here in Tucson. She founded Sonoran Senior Solutions so families have a steady, local guide when big decisions arrive.
She also teaches. This fall she led a class at OLLI-UA on how senior living really works: what to ask, what to watch for, and what families are rarely told.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a senior placement service?
A senior placement service helps you find the right living arrangement for an older loved one. We learn their care needs, budget, preferred location and personality, then bring you a short list of communities or care options in Tucson and Southern Arizona that truly fit.
How much does your help cost?
Nothing. Our placement services are no-cost to you and your family. When we successfully place a client, the community pays us. You never receive a bill from us.
How long does the placement process take?
It moves at your pace. Some families need a move within a week, others plan over several months. We fit our work around your schedule and comfort level.
What if I'm not looking for placement?
We can still help. We connect families with in-home care and other local services, help you understand care needs, and share community resources for seniors. Call us and we will point you in the right direction.
