Free to families. Westside only.
Finding the right senior living shouldn't feel this hard.
If your mom or dad needs more help than home can give, you don't need a national call center. You need someone local who knows the Westside's assisted living communities and board-and-care homes, tells you what they really cost, and checks the state's actual inspection records.
- Free help from a vetted, local senior living advisor
- Real Westside pricing, explained before you tour anything
- Every recommendation checked against California's inspection records
- No pressure, and honesty when a move isn't the right answer yet
Tell us what's going on
You'll hear back within one business day. No call lists, no spam.
Free, and we say why
If a move happens, the community pays the advisor a placement fee and the advisor shares part of it with us. You never pay anything. We lead with that because you deserve to know how everyone advising you gets paid.
Westside only
Santa Monica to Culver City, Venice to Brentwood. Small territory on purpose: knowing twenty neighborhoods well beats covering three hundred badly.
Records, not awards
Marketing awards measure marketing. We check every community against its California inspection record, and we teach you to read it yourself.
How it works
Three steps, at your pace
Tell us what's going on
Fill out the short form. Tell us the real situation: the falls, the forgetting, the family disagreements. The mess is normal.
You hear back within one business day
We listen first. Then a vetted, independent Westside advisor builds a short list that fits your needs, budget, and timeline.
Tour with the facts in hand
Three to five communities, each with pricing and its state inspection record. Tour, compare, decide. Or decide it's not time yet; that's a fine answer too.
What we help with
Every kind of senior living on the Westside
Assisted living communities
Apartment-style buildings with meals, activities, and help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medications.
Board-and-care homes
LA's quiet secret: licensed residential homes with up to six residents and high caregiver attention, often thousands less per month than the big buildings. Read the board-and-care guide.
Memory care
Secured, specialized care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, in dedicated communities or smaller home settings.
Independent living
For parents who need community and convenience more than daily care. Meals, social life, and a building that notices if something changes.
What we don't do: we do not refer to skilled nursing facilities, and we never give medical advice. If that's what your family needs, we'll say so and point you to the right resource. Honesty about fit is the whole point of this service.
Why local, why records
Awards measure marketing. Inspections measure care.
In 2024, a Washington Post investigation found that more than a third of the communities promoted with "Best of" awards by the largest national referral platform had recent citations for serious care violations. Our answer is simple: California publishes every community's inspection history, citations, and complaint record. We check it before any community reaches your short list, and our touring checklist shows you how to verify everything yourself. Trust that can't be verified isn't trust.

Questions families ask first
Is this service really free?
Yes. Families never pay us anything. If you move into a community, that community pays a placement fee to the local advisor who helped you, and the advisor shares part of it with us. We tell you this up front because you deserve to know how everyone advising you gets paid, and because no fee ever decides a recommendation.
How is this different from the big national referral sites?
Three ways. We only work LA's Westside. We connect you with one vetted local advisor instead of putting your number on a call list. And we judge communities by their actual California inspection records instead of marketing awards, then show you how to read those records yourself.
What is a board-and-care home?
A residential home licensed by California for up to six residents, with caregivers on site, home-cooked meals, and far more individual attention than most large buildings can offer. LA has hundreds. They often cost less than communities and can be the better fit for someone who would be overwhelmed by a big building.
How fast can we move?
When it's urgent, tours can usually happen within days and a move within a week or two, depending on the community's assessment process and availability. Tell us your real timeline and we'll be straight about what's achievable.
Do you help with memory care?
Yes. Memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias is one of the most common needs we see, in both dedicated communities and smaller board-and-care settings with dementia waivers.
What if we're not sure what level of care is needed?
That's normal, and it's where the conversation starts. The advisor walks through what daily life looks like now, what's getting harder, and what the doctor says. Nobody here gives medical advice; care decisions stay with your family and the doctor. The advisor's job is translating those needs into housing options.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Tell us what's going on. A local advisor will call you within one business day, listen first, and be honest about your options. Free, always.
