My mother had been living with me, and I reached a point where I could no longer meet all of her care needs on my own. A family friend highly recommended Total Senior after having a great experience with them, so I reached out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After my very first phone call, when I explained our situation, I felt like I could finally breathe again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They guided me through every step of the process and truly held my hand while helping us find the right board and care home for my mom. Thanks to their support, we found a wonderful place less than five minutes from my house, which means we can visit her often. I'm incredibly grateful for their compassion, guidance, and expertise. Total Senior made an overwhelming time so much easier. Highly recommend! read more

I honestly don't know what I would have done without Total Senior. After my dad had a serious fall, hospital stay, and rehab, we were overwhelmed and had no idea what type of care he needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Julie, Total Senior Advisor, took the time to truly listen, clearly explained the differences between assisted living and other options, and immediately knew what would be the best fit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her compassion and patience helped my mom accept that she could no longer safely care for my dad on her own--something that felt impossible at the time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With Julie's guidance, we found an assisted living community within our budget where my dad is safe, supported, and has social interaction again. We are beyond grateful for Julie and Total Senior. read more

I highly recommend Total Senior and felt compelled to write a review after the incredible quality of service I received from them! Total Senior was there when we needed them most. They assisted me in finding the right care for my uncle in an excellent community.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A rehab hospital social worker introduced me to Perry at Total Senior to assist me in finding care for an elderly loved one in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (I live 1500 miles away). Every recommendation was phenomenal and we ended up selecting one of her suggestions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Couldn't be more pleased with Total Senior as well as Perry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Her recommendation gave me confidence that my aunt was being safely cared for in my absence! Thanks Perry! read more

They are so so helpful and knowledgeable! Amazing staff and service. So glad I found them to help with my Mom

Daniel was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend his services to others. 5 stars!

My Father was being discharged from the hospital and needed a board and care facility immediately. When you find yourself in this position you quickly learn that this can be a difficult process. I was unable to find a vacancy at an appropriate place on my own due to lack of availability or quality level. One location recommended Daniel @ Total Senior. After a brief conversation, Daniel found us a great place close to my home and in my price range in an hour. I was so relieved! Thank you, Daniel for helping my family when we really needed it. read more

Daniel Sagal is the head of this place. HE IS A CON ARTIST. He is a liar. He is a scoundrel and he gives the entire business of placing a member of the family who has dementia an even worse name than it should carry. He has no regard for anything but money and excels and finding ways to lie to you and the State that ensure he is successful at filling his coffers, but with no regard to his "clients" or those who are NOT his clients. My husband suffers from Lewy Body Dementia, the worst of the worst, and, starting a year ago, after four and a half years of hands-on care by me, I began looking for the right place for him, calling several placement agencies (they say "we do not charge you," and that is true. They are paid by the place wherein they finally put your loved one). I ended up working with two women, looking for the "right" place and we talked about various places, but I decided to table this until the Spring, when I began looking again with the same women. I then saw a few places, but NEVER was Belmont brought up to me or shown to me. Word apparently spreads in this industry and I got a call from Total Senior, a nice woman there (Renee) who works for the man who runs it, Daniel Sagal. I told her I was working with others and hands full and did not need to take on another firm, but she would call every two months or so and be quite nice. I heard about Belmont from my daughter who is friends with another friend of ours who is close to the head of Belmont, Burbank. I called the woman at Belmont Burbank and we talked and she suggested Belmont, Encino (which is actually in Sherman Oaks and close to my home). I went there, saw it and put my husband in. All on my own. Several months later, I was hit by an attack of unsurety, so I decided to check out a few other places while my husband remained at Belmont. I got a call from Renee (whom I had never met) and she again said, talk to Daniel (which I had never done), and I finally did and then met Daniel (ONE TIME) at his OWN start-up little bed and board place (incidentally, against the California law if you already head up a placement center and then refer to your own "place"). I went there, met him, liked and was very keen on it though I asked him to allow me to think and not to alert Belmont Encino that I was looking. He promised he would not. The next day, I found out not only that he HAD, but he had insisted to THEM that he was the one who originally referred me to them (which he was not). This is like demanding payment for a job not done for the people who DO end up placing your loved one, get equal to a full month of the payment to the facility in which they place them (ergo, Daniel would get around 12K for this "placement" for which he had NOTHING TO DO WITH, but nonetheless demanded). He then proceeded to call myriad different abed and boards and larger places for dementia and put HIS name as the referral for me should I EVER CONTACT THEM. Again, LET ME REPEAT: without my okay, without ever mentioning these places to me, HE took the liberty of putting his name down as my referral SHOULD I EVER GO TO THEM, thus ensuring he would get the money for referring me). He then called me and strong-armed me, telling he had one bed left at his "home" (which was not true) and I had to sign up now. Since I had just heard through the grapevine that he had strong armed the powers that be at Belmont, Sherman Oaks, I wrote his a nasty email and told him I would never place my husband through a person like he who was so deceitful. The bottom line is this. We are at the mercy of others and the illnesses of our loved ones during this process of placement and people like Daniel, and I am sure, others, take advantage of it for their own monetary gain. Daniel, however, takes this to a new and insidious level. He acts above the law, without care of the law, without care of feelings and emotions and in a purely monetarily-driven fashion. Do not go to this con man. I am presently engaged in reporting him to the State for heading up a placement firm, Total Senior, and additionally referring to his own little six-bed unit that he has purchased (this is against the law, but Daniel does not care of the legal law, and most certainly about the moral one). read more

Daniel is fantastic. He knows the San Fernando Valley and elderly/memory care resources in the area very well and is well known and trusted within the community. He also has tons of resources and was able to not only provide a great home option for my loved one, but also home health companies that could provide additional health/care services for my parent at her new assisted living facility. Daniel listened to my mom's history without judgement, my complaints about previous homes, and my long list of "must haves" for my parent's placement. He was able to quickly find me assisted living homes that would suit my mom and guided me through the process of getting her the RIGHT care. My mom is now in a wonderful home that meets all of her needs and every one of my "must haves." She's also receiving additional community resources such as counseling, occupational therapy, and physical therapy -- all of which was facilitated by Total Senior's recommendations and guidance. I feel completely supported in the care of my mom and I have Daniel to thank for guiding me to it. Do not hesitate to put your trust in Daniel. read more

As a conservator I had a real problem finding placement for a loved one with late-onset Schizophrenia. The resident facility world seems mainly dedicated to serving the needs of memory care, and is somewhat resistant to people diagnosed with mental illness. Fortunately, Daniel S, who exhibited a combination of dedication and personal knowledge, helped me immeasurably, and I was able to find a facility that met all my standards of care. I remain ever grateful, Walon Green read more

I found Daniel and his homes through google and I am so grateful I did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He helped us find a home for my grandma.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We toured his Encino home and would have loved to place her there but it was full. We didn't have the luxury of time so Daniel provided us other places we looked at. We found a great place for my grandma very quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Daniel listened to our needs and our vision for her and found the right place for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He has kept in touch after her move to make sure she is well and we are happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Daniel and his services. He knows this industry and can guide you during a difficult time. read more

When I was unexpectedly tasked with finding a new home for my 84 year old mother who was diagnosed with late stage Alzheimer's I was scared and anxious. I had no idea what this all entailed. I was recommended to Total Senior and Jeff Albert , from my friend and colleague Jessica B., who told me how happy she was with Jeff's caring and helpful expertise. He guided me through the steps and made referrals after I gave him specific information about my mom's condition, needs and financial budget. I am so happy that I chose to work with Jeff Albert He not only helped me find a great place for my mom to live out her life in a caring, clean and wonderful residence (The Woodley Palms, in North Hills, CA) he would check in with me to see how everything was going there. Jeff is dedicated to his vocation and truly cares about the people he helps. I would recommend Jeff Albert highly. read more

Caring, kind and gets the job done. Takes time to know you and your family and what your specific needs are. No BS! I highly recommend them without hesitation! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I honestly couldn't have done it without Daniel Sagal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was highly recommended to Daniel and his team by a very close friend. My dad's diagnosis was dementia but I thought I could keep him home and take care of him. Total Senior saved my sanity and Daniel was my life saver. My dad's behavior had become aggressive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Daniel took the time to listen to everything I had to say, and took my anxiety away from what would be the next steps for my dad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Daniel knew exactly where my dad would have the best care, attention and quality of life. He helped find dad a great Memory Care in the area we needed and within our budget. Look no further than TOTAL SENIOR for help with your loved one! read more

I was recommended to work with Total Senior by a social worker and I was skeptical... I have worked with every agency in LA as my family and I have tried to navigate the very complicated process of finding the best care for my Dad under a tight budget. I gave Daniel a call and within minutes I felt at ease. He was straight forward and solution oriented but most importantly he listened, really listened and he cared. After our initial call I took my first sigh of relief in what felt like an eternity- I could see a light at the end of the tunnel. Within a few weeks we found an assisted living facility for my dad. Throughout the whole process Daniel checked in often, when we had a crisis and needed extra nurses before the move here was there with people to call and solutions in mind. And when we had to move my Dad again during Covid, Daniel showed up for us once again with so much support. Within a week Daniel found a very very special home for my Dad where he could get the care and needs he requires. We couldn't be more pleased with his new home. Without Daniel and Total Senior we would have never found this facility. I can confidently say Daniel is running the most ethical and kind agency in this business. Taking care of sick family members is hard enough, but with people like Daniel it can be a little easier. Do yourself a favor and give him a call- I promise you that within a few minutes you'll have your much needed sigh of relief and find yourself on your way to securing a wonderful home for your loved one. read more

Our family was faced with having to find a memory care residence for my dad in a very short time (he was being released from the hospital after a heart attack and it was evident that he could not come home again). Daniel very literally came to our rescue. He was super knowledgeable and empathetic and resourceful... and very obviously dedicated to finding a unique and workable solution tailored to a best fit for both the individual and the family. He was hugely available and responsive throughout the process (and helped to talk both Mom and I off the ledge a couple of times--it can be such an emotional process, and it feels wholly invaluable to have someone experienced in your court to help navigate). Thank you, Daniel and team. We're very grateful. read more

Total Senior is the best! They helped me place two of my family members. They were knowledgeable, patient and were there for my family when we needed them the most! I didn't know how to even start searching for a facility for my family but luckily I saw there store right next to Tarzana hospital and walked in. The best decision I ever made! Thank you total senior for all your help!!! read more

I met Daniel, one of the advisors at Total Senior, at multiple social events and briefly learned about the services he provides. When a close friend recently shared an experience she was going through with her mother and had no clue where to turn, I introduced her to Daniel. Only a few days later my friend called me and couldn't be more grateful for the introduction I had made. She said Daniel and his team called her back within a few minutes, spent an hour on the phone learning about everything going on with her mother, then gave her a ton of resources ranging from an estate planning attorney, a few assisted living communities, helped her find a short term rehab facility near her home, and even took the time to review finances to make sure they would never run out of money. I didn't even know Daniel did all that but he certainly made me look really good! I've sent many referrals over since and hear continue to hear nothing but great things! Thank you to the Total Senior team for your dedication to seniors and their families! Make sure they are your first call! read more

My mom and dad needed assistance with their placement in a facility after a stay in the hospital.

My family and I had to make a hard emotional and on the spot decision to move our mom from her home to a Board and Care Facility, due to the lack of Caregiver availability. Daniel, at Total Senior, was referred to me by a close friend. She said he would be able to help my family. She was not wrong.!! Daniel walked me through every step of what to expect and which homes to tour. He was very kind and willing to help in any way that he could in making our decision less emotional and making us aware of our options. He was always available by text or phone at all times of the day or week. I even spoke to him, as I was in a panic, New Years Day!! I would totally recommend him for any of your resourcing needs when trying to place a loved family member. He was wonderful to our family. read more

When my parents were looking for help with my grandmother, the only thing I thought of was to search the internet for information. I found Total Senior and spoke with Jeff about my grandmother's situation. Jeff understood all the circumstances and offered to speak with my mother as well. After I connected them, my mom was really grateful that I had taken the time to search. It's difficult to trust an online review for something so personal, but Jeff really came through and helped us a lot when we needed him most. The caregiving agency they set us up with was great and the information they gave us to help prepare many years into the future was very valuable. They will be my first call if my family ever needs something again. read more

Jeff at Total Senior is very passionate about what he does and it is obvious how he cares for his clients.

My father passed in September 2020.  He declined quite rapidly after my mother died.  The transition was very hard because he had dementia-related behavioral issues and it was very difficult finding a facility that could care for him.  Jeff at Total Senior was so helpful in finally getting him settled into an environment that could meet all of his needs.  My family is very grateful for Jeff's kindness. read more

Jeff Albert has literally been a life changer in helping with my mom and her residential needs! He is so very knowledgeable about all available senior care homes and facilities in SCV and San Fernando Valley. All I can say is I wish I had known of him sooner. It was tough and expensive trying to find a great fit to match up with my moms complex needs. After doing it on my own for years I was recommended to Jeff at Total Senior .... boy, does he know his stuff!! My mom is now in a wonderful assisted living (thanks Jeff!) where here physical and emotional needs are being fully met. And its affordable!!! To top it all off Jeff follows up with her often to make sure shes being well cared for!!! I call him my "advocates' advocate!" Now I cant imagine what we did before him (and Daniel ) at Total Senior! Impeccable professionalism!!! And my forever gratitude for helping me care well for my mom without stress! read more

I found myself in the very difficult situation of searching for care for my father who unfortunately has a rapid progressing dementia. I reached out to Total Senior while my Dad was still in our care. I did not know the first thing about finding care. Jeff connected with me and asked all the pertinent questions. He found me some options that worked with our budget and care needs. Unfortunately my father had to go to the ER due to the loss of his mobility. We spent the next 9 days in hospital hell. At first the hospital wanted my father out as soon as humanly possible and I again reached out to Jeff to help me with an already impossible task but also with the added constraint of a rather short hospital discharge timeline. We were able to secure a room and board that also went above and beyond in helping me with the whole process. Jeff called me more than the hospital staff did! He always kept me in the loop and called to check in with me while we were at the hospital. Speaking with Jeff was always a welcome relief. Enduring the journey of a loved one with dementia is so difficult and I often felt so defeated. Having the help of a guide like Jeff with his reassurance and kinds words is such a gift. I cannot recommend his help enough. read more

This is my shout out and public thank you to Daniel Sagal, owner of Total Senior, who was recommended to me to help find a memory care for my mother in West L.A. Within two days of our initial thorough phone call, Daniel gave me a list of potential residences within my budget and geographical constraints. Each facility had a contact, phone #, estimated cost. Each of the residences had available spots. I spent a couple days reading every word of every website and called my favorite and made an appointment to tour. When I updated Daniel, he urged me to see at least one or two other places for comparison. I scheduled three tours on one day (only four days after he and I spoke for the first time!) It turned out that we went with Welbrook in Santa Monica, which was my favorite, but Daniel was right - if anything, taking a look at two other places made me even more confident in my choice. We moved Mom three weeks ago. Of course it's a tough transition, given my mom's confusion, but I can already see it's the right place for her. Daniel was just super and accessible and wise and experienced. And in case it needs saying, this was at no cost to our family. We even used on of the moving companies he referred us to! Highly recommend! read more

Jeff Alpert and total senior helped me find a wonderful place for my father, that fit my budget. He and his colleagues are livesavers!!! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Daniel was extremely helpful from the very beginning. He reacted quickly helping me transition my mother from the Hospital to a quality Rehab i may not have otherwise been able to get her into. He continued to help me in finding a permanent Assisted Living facility and all of his recommendations were excellent His response times are prompt, and his care and concern for the family involved in transitions is more than comforting. i would highly recommend Total Senior when looking for assistance in any given situation. read more
