How We Find the Perfect Home

You do not need to become an expert in senior care. That is exactly what we are here for.

1

We Listen to You

You call or text Kathee and tell us what is going on. We listen deeply, no signed agreements, no jargon, no pressure. We ask about your loved one's health, personality, budget, and where they want to be near.

2

We Tour Together

We hand-select three to five homes from the hundreds we have personally visited across the greater Sacramento area. Then we go with you. We know which homes can be trusted and what questions to ask.

Your Loved One Settles In

Once we find the right spot, we help coordinate everything — movers, in-home care partners, hospice, and whatever else your family needs. We stay available long after move-in day.

Explained Simply

Placement Services
Assisted Living

Larger community-style living with activities, dining, and daily support staff. We know which assisted living communities truly deliver on their promises in El Dorado County.

Kathee Grgich, founder of Silver Lining Placement Agency
300+
Families guided to the right care home with dignity and love

My name is Kathee Grgich, and I founded Silver Lining because I genuinely believe I am called to serve people in their most vulnerable moments. We have seen too many families face this transition without anyone truly in their corner, and it breaks my heart every time.

My journey into this work started during my years as a Community Service Officer with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office. A woman walked in holding a cardboard box filled with envelopes she thought were unpaid bills. They were solicitations. No one had been protecting her. That moment never left me.

After years in in-home caregiving and working as a placement specialist inside a larger agency, I knew we could serve families better on our own terms, without corporate quotas, without pressure, and with our whole hearts. So in 2025, Silver Lining was born.

Outside of helping others through major life transitions, I am also a mom of four boys and a grandma to seven wonderful grandchildren. My husband and I love going on adventures together, and I bring that same spirit to finding the right home for every family we serve.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Families in El Dorado County Ask Most

Question:
If the service is free, how do you get paid?

We receive a commission from the care community where your loved one is placed, but only after the placement is working well. Our interests line up perfectly with yours. If it is not the right fit, we do not get paid. So you can trust we are always finding the best fit, not the highest price.

Question:
Will you push us toward the most expensive place?

No, and we hear this question often. We stay within your budget, always. We have seen too many families stretched into a placement they could not sustain. That is not how we work, and it never will be.

Question:
Do we have to sign any contract with you?

Absolutely not. Families never sign anything with us. We earn your trust through what we do. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you honestly and point you somewhere better.

Question:
My loved one does not have much money. Can you still help?

Yes. We work with families across every financial situation. We know which homes accept Medi-Cal, how CalAIM works, and how to navigate state programs most families have never heard of. Everyone deserves dignity in their care.

Question:
What is the difference between assisted living and a residential care home?

Assisted living is a larger community with many residents and multiple staff. A residential care home is a licensed private home with up to six residents and dedicated caregivers always present. The care ratio is much higher, meals are home-cooked, and for many seniors it feels more like home. We help you figure out which fits your loved one best.

Question:
Can you help with an urgent hospital or skilled nursing discharge?

Yes. We can schedule tours within 24 to 48 hours and have relationships with hundreds of vetted facilities across the region. We work fast without cutting corners on quality.
