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) 699-3000 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.

BUILD NOTES — not part of the page
Every claim here comes from Elder Home Finders’ own live site. Bobbie Trifon and her title, the mission line, the five evaluation criteria (level of care, atmosphere, cleanliness, staffing, resident feedback), the six housing types, the weekend availability, “personally evaluated and inspected”, both phone numbers and all three testimonials — all lifted from their pages, not invented.
✅ The address is now verified. 7336 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 716, West Hollywood, CA 90046 — from their Google Business Profile via the Places API, confirmed as theirs because the listing carries (310) 699-3000 and links to elderhomefinders.com/contact-ehf. Note it is West Hollywood, not Los Angeles proper; the NAP block says so, because a NAP that disagrees with the GBP weakens the listing.
Two things I wrote that they do not say outright, and you should confirm: “we are paid by the community you choose” (the standard model for a free referral agency, and the honest explanation of why it costs families nothing — but their site never states it), and “hundreds of licensed homes in Los Angeles County” in the FAQ.
🚨 Their Google Business Profile has ZERO reviews and no published hours. The Places API returns rating: null, user_ratings_total: null. For a placement service that competes entirely on trust, that is a bigger problem than anything on this page: no star snippet is possible anywhere, and the local pack has nothing to rank on. The testimonials above are real but live only on their own site, where they carry far less weight.
⚠ Tenure claims conflict on their own site. /about-ehf says Bobbie has “over 18 years in the caregiving business”; /find-a-facility says the company has been “in business for over 3 decades”. Both were written around 2019–2020 and are now stale. I have deliberately put no tenure number anywhere on this page rather than pick one.
Still missing: real photography, published opening hours, and confirmation that advisors genuinely take calls in Spanish before any “Hablamos español” appears. No invented numbers: no families-served count, no star rating, no facility names.
