Momentum Senior Services

Senior living guidance from someone who actually sees your situation.

Most senior living advisors understand communities. Maria Gorski understands bodies, function, and what daily life really looks like for an older adult navigating one of the hardest transitions of their life.

What sets this apart

35 years of clinical experience. In the room with you.

Senior living advisors come from many backgrounds — real estate, social work, sales. They understand communities and placements. What they typically don’t have is clinical training. Maria Gorski is a licensed physical therapist with 35 years of experience working in older adults’ homes. She can assess whether your mother needs memory care — or just a grab bar and better physical therapy. That distinction can save your family from a costly, emotionally exhausting wrong placement. Her referral network isn’t bought. It’s built — from decades of patients and families who already trust her, who are at exactly the moment in life when these decisions need to be made.

“Physical therapy patient or family looking for a new home — it doesn’t change what I’m there to do: figure out what’s actually best for them.”

Whether you’re in crisis mode or just starting to think ahead, there’s a place to start that fits where you actually are.

How we can work together.

Free to families

Senior Living Placement

No cost to you — communities pay the referral fee

For families who are ready to move — or close to it. A recent hospitalization, a fall, a functional decline that’s made it clear that something needs to change.

Free initial consultation — phone or in-home
Clinical assessment of care needs & functional status
Matched to communities by care level, budget & fit
Tour support with clinical questions ready
Transition logistics & paperwork guidance
Post-move follow-up

The assessment process

Six areas every placement
decision turns on.

Whether we’re doing a full clinical assessment or a placement consultation, these are the areas that determine the right level of care — and the right next step.

Daily Living Abilities

Can they bathe, dress, transfer, and eat independently? Where do they need help — and how much?

Medical History

Chronic conditions, medications, recent hospitalizations, and whether 24-hour supervision is needed.

Cognitive Status

Memory, orientation, safety awareness. Determines independent living vs. assisted living vs. memory care.

Financial Picture

Monthly budget, long-term care insurance, Veterans benefits, assets. Narrows realistic options quickly.

Lifestyle & Preferences

Location, social needs, hobbies, pets, religious affiliation, proximity to family. Fit beyond care level.

Timeline & Urgency

Crisis placement vs. planned transition. Drives how quickly to move and what options are realistic.

Why this is different

What 35 years in people's homes
actually teaches you.

Clinical eyes, not a checklist

A standard advisor asks if your parent needs help with transfers. Maria watches them do it — and knows what that means clinically, functionally, and for their next five years.

Already in the living room

Most advisors build trust from scratch. Maria’s referral network is her patient list — people she has already helped, at exactly the moment these decisions get made.

The emotional piece, too

She understands the fear of losing independence and the grief of leaving a home — not just logistically, but clinically and personally. That matters in the room.

No manufactured urgency

She won’t steer you toward a placement you don’t need. If the answer is PT and a grab bar, that’s what she’ll tell you. Honest guidance, always.
