EXCELLENT Based on 34 reviews Posted on Kris NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Assisted Living Locators was recommended to me by a social worker at a facility where a friend who I am medical PoA for was recovering, but the facility had no rooms for him to stay in their memory care. We needed to find a place he’d be happy in short order, and had location constraints as well to keep him near friends. There were also many unknowns about finances initially as we were working through a fiduciary company as his financial PoA. Sara jumped in, explained her background in several related areas of healthcare and asked numerous good questions to understand what the friend would appreciate. She provided a curated list of 7 places that had rooms available that met the constraints. Once I’d reviewed them, she answered questions and helped me pick two to visit to see if I thought they were a fit prior to bringing K. there for a visit. Both were a good fit. She helped arrange visits, K. loved the first place. Sara was helpful and supported us through move-in. Overall it was a great experience and I would be happy to work with Assisted Living Locators again!Posted on Tom AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sara was great. I had never done this before and she was able to guide my Mom and I through the process to find the right place for my Dad. She answered all my questions and after we selected a place followed up to see if she could help further. I would definitely recommend them.Posted on Erin DwyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Dad was in an assisted living that could longer meet his care needs due to Parkinson's. I live out of state and had been calling around to at least a dozen places to check (immediate) availability and services, and was striking out. I was then referred to Sara Lynaugh who saved the day. After a conversation about our needs and preferences, she immediately suggested a few places that met all of our criteria but hadn't appeared when I was searching online. She clearly knows the facilities, their staffs, and the red and green flags to be aware of. She quickly touched base with the facilities to ensure availability and then connected me the right person at the facility we thought was the best for him. Within 48 hours of speaking to her, I was coordinating the move into that assisted living. While he has just moved in, from what we can tell, it's exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Sara!!Posted on Barbara DupontTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were very helpful and patient while my brother and I were trying to get my dad to agree to go into assisted living. We appreciated all their help and support along the way.Posted on Steve CallaghanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with the help of the Locators. They found places we didn’t know about and we ended up moving into a unit last month and love it. It was beyond our expectations and we highly recommend them. They saved us so much time and found us a place we didn’t know existed. We are SO GRATEFUL!!Posted on Dave RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sara Lynaugh helped me find an enhanced care facility for a relative in a really short period of time(less than a week). She did a great job in providing 2 options in my area. Unfortunately, the facility I chose was Sara's second pick and I made my decision on what they were saying. Due to the short timeframe I could not verify it and that ended up being my mistake. So, interview tenants and staff before signing that lease! Again, Sara was fantastic and I definitely recommend her!Posted on Mike BablerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed to find Assisted Living for my mom in a very short time. I had no idea a service like this excited. Sarah Lynaugh was amazing!! She meet with us, answered all our questions, and set out to find the perfect place. She was always willing to answer our questions, and we had lots. Sarah knows her stuff! she finds the best places. Thank you,Posted on Nick and Amy DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time looking for assisted living for a loved one. I worked with Sara L and she was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, she responded to any questions that I had, she followed up on a regular basis to make sure everything was going smoothly. I really appreciated all the help that she provided during this difficult time of transition. I would highly recommend them to anyone!Posted on Garret WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Assisted Living Locators was a great help in finding a place for my mother. Sara Lynaugh quickly organized multiple visits to facilities, attended the tours with us, and helped us narrow our choices to one we liked. We needed someone who knew the landscape and our specific wants and needs. Thank You!
