While searching for an assisted living facility for a relative, I came across Golden Road Assisted…read moreLiving via Yelp, and gave them a call. I spoke to Mauricio (sp?) who spent a lot of time with me on the phone - going over options, explaining the differences between different types of facilities, listening to the particulars surrounding our relative's condition, letting us know what to watch out for in general. Golden Road is bit above our relative's budget but I really appreciated Mauricio's professionalism, candidness, and especially the time he took to share his knowledge with us -- even after knowing that we would be seeking something less expensive than Golden Road. Thank you so much Mauricio!

My dad was hospitalized for emergency surgery before he was able to move to Con Carino. Linda was very supportive throughout our decision-making process, then while he was in the hospital, and once he arrived at Con Carino. He was so happy once he got there--he looked around the room, which I had set up with his photos and other memorabilia, and said, "This is where I live now." Unfortunately, my dad didn't recover from his surgery and died a week after he got to Con Carino. When I was researching the care options, I knew that I wanted to have Linda's support for my dad and my family through his death--I just wish it hadn't happened so quickly. I can't speak highly enough about Linda and her staff and the facility.

I truly feel so grateful and blessed that we found this beautiful home for my mom. For years, I had…read morebeen advocating for her and trying to help other family members understand that she needed 24-hour care. It was a very emotional and difficult journey, and at times I felt completely alone in that fight. From the moment we met Art and Armen, I knew my mom was finally in the right place. They have been absolute angels throughout this entire process. Their compassion, patience, and genuine love for what they do is something you don't often see. I can say with complete confidence that they truly care about their residents and always put their best interests first. Even though my mom is living with dementia, she still has feelings, thoughts, wants, and opinions. Art and Armen have always treated her with dignity, kindness, and deep respect. They see her as a whole person -- not just a patient -- and that means everything to our family. They are very involved in her daily care, and the women who work in the home are warm, gentle, and incredibly attentive. Knowing my mom is safe, cared for, and surrounded by people who truly value her has brought me a level of peace I didn't think was possible. I will forever be thankful for the love and support they have shown our family during such a vulnerable time. Kristin Cook

Mom enjoyed talking sports with Jeff and playing bingo with the girls, they always had time to chat with her. Changing medications were easily managed by the staff. I always felt welcome to visit at any time or call the staff with any questions/requests. The home was always neat, clean, and secure. My only regret is that we didn't find Hampton House sooner!

This review is going to reveal what can be considered an absolute rescue story !…read more Having been hospitalized, the status of my discharge was entirely uncertain. Where will I go after this hospitalization? Think about the anxiety and tension not knowing where I would be going. As an 84 year old senior citizen, this predicament could be considered filled with debilitating uncertainty. The social worker and case manager both offered information and possible dispositions. One of the referrals was to Giselle Placement Help. In fact the workers gave me a tip to start off with Giselle. I called her first and she gave me three referrals one in Lynnwood and two in the San ​ Fernando Valley. One never called back , one said I was not eligible , and the third was to an administrator who arrived at the hospital at 12:30 p.m. . After extensively interviewing myself he spoke with all the nurses and doctors in the unit and then inform me that I would be eligible to come to his facility and showed me pictures of the private room where I would be . He was extraordinarily kind and made sure that every need that I had was going to be met . In addition he actually helped me move some of my belongings . So you can see that this referral took care of enormous uncertainty and perhaps Karma is involved in making such a successful transition . ​

We decided she needed to move closer to me, and we recognized that we couldn't afford in-home care, so the search for an assisted living community began. Jason and two other placement specialists came highly recommended by Huntington Senior Care Network, but it quickly became clear that Jason's needs-first approach to placement and his impressive network of connections showed the most promise. He listened carefully to my mom's needs and found a place that balanced her considerable needs with more opportunities to socialize than your typical board and care. Within two week of my first call with Jason, my mom was preparing to move! Jason's support didn't stop there. He regularly checked in with me during the first few months of my mom's adjustment, advising me through the inevitable bumps that come with the transition to assisted living, validating my concerns, and guiding me to a place of candid conversation with my mom's new support team. We're nearly 3 months in now and my mom is thrilled with her care and her living arrangement. I can't thank Jason enough for the care, insight, and grace he so generously shared with us.

My mom, a fiercely independent woman all her life was recently diagnosed with dementia. Although…read moreshe had been exhibiting quirky signs for the past year or so, my family and I chalked it up to normal aging. In the past year her utilities and cable services were being turned off, but it wasn't until I received a call from apartment management that rent had not been paid that I suspected things were not as should be. Shortly after clearing up issue with rent we discovered mom was speaking with magazine issues as if real. I was completely clueless on steps needed to get help for my mom. I started googling agency's related to elder care and placement and contacted Connections Care Home Referral. I spoke with Jason Bloom who patiently listened to me and gave me the most important piece of information that helped me through this journey. Do you have a Power of attorney for mom? Obtaining that document opened the doors I needed to doctors, social worker, and banking. Once doctors became involved, tests were done and mom was officially diagnosed with progressive dementia. The doctors declared mom as not being competent to handle personal or financial affairs and I needed to find a suitable placement for her. Jason once again gave me the great advice on what type of placement mom, needed. I admit at first I was hesitant about a board/care facility I wanted mom to have a placement as close to living independently as possible, so I was leaning more towards Assisted Living facilities. I also was in process of learning about the disease and was ignorant of how much it robs you of the person you love. Jason was on point the progression of my mom's dementia was at stage where traditional Assisted Living would not have worked for her. Jason and I had many discussions over about a 60 day period, and he sent me lots of lists of possible placements and he always checked status of any contacts I may have made. As I went through this process I began to have a better idea of the type of home that I would want for mom. Jason said give him a couple of days to look for me. Within that timeframe Nina contacted me saying Jason referred her to me. After weeks of visiting different homes and facilities I knew within 15 minutes that her place was the board/care I was looking for. I can't express my gratitude to Jason and Connections Care Referrals for helping me through this process. He was able to take into account location and price points to find what my family and I would be comfortable with for mom.
