Finding Mom and Dad a place that still feels like home.
We know the assisted living, board and care, and dementia homes across Los Angeles — because we have visited them. Tell us what your family needs and we will shortlist the ones worth your time.
Three steps, and you are not doing any of them alone.
You tell us what is happening
Level of care, budget, the part of Los Angeles that works for visiting. One phone call, or the form — whichever is easier that day.
We shortlist homes we have seen
A customised list drawn only from communities we have personally evaluated and inspected, and that fall inside your price range.
We tour them with you
We come with you to visit, and we keep going until the right place is found. You can reach Bobbie 7 days a week.
What kind of senior housing is available?
There are six types of senior housing in California. Most families arrive knowing only that something has to change — not which of these they need.
Assisted Living
Help with daily living — medication, bathing, meals — in a community setting, with independence kept wherever possible.
30 guides for Los Angeles →Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care
Secured memory care with staff trained for cognitive decline, wandering and the behaviours that come with it.
Dementia care in LA →Independent Living
For a parent who manages well day to day but should not be maintaining a house or eating alone any longer.
Senior living options →Board and Care
A small residential home, typically six residents, with a higher staff-to-resident ratio than a large community.
Find a facility →Continuing Care Retirement Communities
Independent living, assisted living and nursing care on one campus, so a move later does not mean leaving.
How CCRCs work →Nursing & Convalescent Homes
Skilled nursing for medical needs that assisted living is not licensed or staffed to meet.
When nursing care is needed →Every home we recommend, we have been inside.
We are selective about what goes on your list. Each community is evaluated on five things before it is ever recommended to a family.
Level of care
What the home is actually licensed and staffed to handle.
Atmosphere
Whether it feels like somewhere a person lives, not somewhere they wait.
Cleanliness
Observed in person, on an ordinary day, not on a tour day.
Staffing
How many people, how long they stay, and how they speak to residents.
Resident feedback
From families we have already placed in that home.
I created ElderHomeFinders because of my own long and difficult history locating quality places to care for my mother and father after they could no longer care for themselves. There are so many different places and they offer many levels of care, it can be very confusing.
It is with love and devotion that I have created my free referral service to help families seeking assistance in finding a place for their loved ones.
If you are tired of the larger, impersonal referral agencies, I offer one-on-one personal and direct care and you can reach me 7 days a week. I look forward to speaking with you and assisting you in finding the very best home for your loved ones.

What families say afterwards
“I started with one of the big agencies and got lost in the shuffle. All I got was a fax and an email. Your personal care and attention, meeting with us and touring all those places until we found the perfect place for my mom — you went beyond.”
Bernice and George Caufman“Thank you for your care and understanding in the most difficult time in my life. I did not know where to find the right kind of facility for my mom and you helped me through it. Being available on the weekends was wonderful.”
Mary Thompson and Family“Thank you, thank you again and again.”
Francine P.Across Los Angeles and Southern California
Close enough to visit on a Tuesday evening matters more than almost anything else. We work across the neighbourhoods families actually ask us about.
Frequently asked questions
What does Elder Home Finders cost?
Nothing. All of our placement services are free of charge to families. We are compensated by the community a family chooses, which is how referral agencies in this field work.
What kinds of senior housing are there?
Six: Independent Living, Assisted Living, Board and Care, Alzheimer’s care, Continuing Care Retirement Communities, and Nursing (Convalescent) Homes. Which one fits depends on the level of care needed now and what is likely in a year.
Why use a referral agency at all?
Because there are hundreds of licensed homes in Los Angeles County and no way to judge them from a website. We have already been inside the ones we recommend, and we narrow hundreds down to the few worth your visit.
How quickly can you help?
Most families call us in the middle of something urgent — a fall, a hospital discharge, a diagnosis. Call (310) 269-1206 and you will speak with Bobbie directly, 7 days a week.
Do you cover my parent’s budget?
We only put homes on your list that fall inside the price range you tell us. If what you need is not available at that price in that neighbourhood, we will say so rather than send you to tour it.
