Hi there! I’m Michelle Joyner—a proud Hoosier, wife, mother of five, and grandmother of seven. Deep Roots Placement is my labor of love, inspired by my own mother’s experience. She was so afraid of losing her independence that she stayed silent about needing help, believing the misconceptions about senior care. Because of that, she missed out on the support she needed, and we missed out on precious time with her.
I founded Deep Roots Placement to change that. My mission is to help seniors and families recognize when living alone is no longer safe and to remove the fear and stigma around senior living communities. These communities aren’t what many imagine—they’re vibrant, supportive places where seniors can thrive with proper care, nutritious meals, engaging activities, and meaningful connections.
With over 20 years in physical therapy and degrees in Healthcare Administration and Education, I understand the challenges seniors face. Through Deep Roots Placement, I provide free guidance to families exploring assisted living, independent care, memory care, or short-term respite. I also connect families with valuable resources like elder law attorneys, home health, home care, financial planners, and more.
If you’re feeling uncertain about the next steps for your aging loved one, let’s chat. I’m here to help you navigate this journey so your family can make informed, confident decisions—because everyone deserves to age with dignity.
