I was beyond impressed by the level of care I received through Golden Pathways. Gretchen and Mauricio are top-notch professionals and extremely knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. They contacted me promptly when I submitted an inquiry through their website. Gretchen was very communicative, and answered all questions in emails and via phone. I appreciate this level of communication because I was hitting dead-ends when I was trying to coordinate on my own. Backstory: my mother has been in and out of the hospital this past summer. She is now in Skilled Nursing, but it became quickly apparent that she could not return to living with me and my family as she has been for the past 6 years. She is a fall risk and has other health issues that require more care and assistance. I was completely in the dark and trying to navigate attempting to find a long-term care facility on my own. To say the process is confusing is being generous. I did not know what questions to ask, how to schedule tours, or what documentation to provide. Gretchen and Mauricio ironed all this out, sent me several options after meeting with me and my mom, scheduled the tour, and followed up. They are involved every step of the way, which was both helpful and comforting after the roller coaster of emotions and complications I had previously experienced. I would recommend them 100 times over. read more

I first met Mauricio several years ago when I was looking for an assisted living facility for my uncle. Mauricio helped us understand what to look for, the kind of questions to ask and facilitated tours of several facilities. We ultimately decided on one that was my uncle's home until he passed away. Recently I reached out to Mauricio again for assistance with a friend who needed to find a place for her disabled husband. Mauricio connected her with Portia, one of the Golden Pathways advisors, who not only helped find a great residential board and care for my friend's husband, but also supported my friend thru the whole process and provided education and support to the the family as well. Mauricio and Portia provide professional and compassionate assistance. They are genuine in their desire to help, are knowledgeable about the many facilities in the area, and they go the extra mile. And a huge plus is that there is no cost for their assistance!. I have a lot of trust in Mauricio and the Golden Pathways team and recommend them to my friends who are looking for placement of their loved ones. read more

Golden pathways was a God send for my grandmother and my family during a difficult time. We had no idea where to start or what resources were available to her in finding placement. They were so gracious and informative. They were able to find placement for her quickly and effectively. Her placement was perfect and she is well cared for which is all we could have asked for! read more

Portia Pio de Roda, a Senior Living Advisor, at Golden Pathways is a rockstar!!! I have been a caregiver for my elderly father who has Parkenson's and advanced dementia. Two weeks ago dad wound up in the hospital and upon his release I needed to find a place for him to go as I could no longer care for him myself. I had 24 hours to find a suitable place for my father.my head was spinning, I had no idea what I was doing, I was a total wreck, luckily Kaiser referred me to Portia. Portia took the bull by the horns and assured me that everything was going to be just fine. She took care of all the details I didn't have to worry about anything anymore. I felt a relief, a feeling that I hadn't had in a long time. I was in good hands. Portia pulled off a miracle and got dad into a beautiful boarding care facility near my home. And she did in less than 24 hours!! I am so grateful to Portia, I feel like she was heaven sent!! I highly recommend Portia Pio de Roda at Golden Pathways!! read more

Where do I begin? I was given Mauricio's name and number a few months ago, by someone who cared what we were going through. We had to move my 94 yr old, father-in-law, as soon as possible. The assisted living place he had called "home" for the last 11 years, raised his rent and care by over $1,500.00 a month, practically overnight. Since we were already supplementing his care, this raise would have to be paid by us. We are 70 yrs old, on limited incomes ourselves. It seemed an impossible situation. To make it worse, we all live out of town, and due to Covid and our own medical issues, we had to do everything by phone and virtual, until the actual moving day. Mauricio was great! I felt calmed down after talking with him. It wasn't long before he got back to us with a place who could take my father-in-law. And it would actually be less then we had been paying, for the last few years. The new place wasn't far from where he lived before. He would have the same medical group, and way more "in house" services. I got the feeling that Mauricio presented our situation to this assisted care facility, with very caring concern. They all worked with us long distance, and it was amazing how smooth it went. Two family members drove 6+ hours each way, and did the whole move-out and move-in in 4-5 days. The new assisted care actually had people help unpack boxes and settle him in. It was amazing how caring they were. The place he lived for 11 yrs?? Nothing in the way of help. I feel like my father-in-law, who served in the Navy, during WW2 and the Korean war, deserves good care at a fair price. Mauricio went above and beyond to help us get that for him. My father-in-law said, "We should have moved here, a while ago". As much as he liked the old place, he tells everyone this new place over all, is even better. THANK YOU Mauricio! read more

Mauricio is the consummate professional as much as he's helpful, patient and understanding. He helped us find an RCFE that I thought was perfect for my mom who has MCI. We visited the RCFE twice and my mom liked it. However, on moving day, she changed her mind. My mom apparently is not ready yet. Nonetheless, I appreciated Mauricio for his helpfulness and understanding. Go with him when it's time to place your elderly parent, and you'll have plenty of support. read more

I met Mauricio a few years ago. My family was facing somewhat of a crisis regarding my sister. She had been diagnosed with a neurological issue and it was becoming more obvious that she was not capable of taking care of herself. Her provided us literature on placement agencies. We met with Mauricio. His concern, professionalism and overall empathy was very impressive. He was so kind and easy to talk to and understood how difficult this was for us. He recommended board and care. However, since my sister would not hear of leaving her home, we decided to try in-home caregivers and more family assistance. Eventually my sister's friend, from whom she had been renting a home for over 16 years, decided it was no longer feasible for her to live in the house. She found an assisted living facility for my sister and convinced her to move. The place was not a good fit and after a few months my sister was asked to leave. I immediately called Mauricio. He remembered us and the challenges we had with my sister. I told him that her condition has worsened and we needed something more than assisted living. He again suggested a board and care facility and recommended one he thought would be a good fit for my sister. The man is a genius and a saint. The place he choose is great. They understand my sister's issues and their patience and concerned for her well-being is amazing. I truly don't know what we would have done if it hadn't been for Mauricio. We are so grateful to him for all he has done. read more

Mauricio from Golden Pathways took an impossible and extremely emotional situation and made everything work out for my mom. She is 95 years old and she needed to move from her lifetime home into an assisted living. Mauricio found us Atria Del Rey in Rancho Cucamonga. She is very close to family and will now have more social and physical activities. It was the hardest thing we as a family have ever had to do. Without Mauricio help, I know we would still be looking. He assisted in every area including finding us transportation to help move mom. We are forever grateful to Mauricio from Golden Pathways. read more

I first met Mauricio of Golden Pathways in 2016 during a period in which my 88 year old father began to experience a decline in his physical health and needed a higher level of care than he was getting at his assisted living facility. Mauricio spent considerable time speaking to me on the phone in order to understand our situation and needs. He then scheduled appointments to tour several Board and Care facilities in the Glendale/Altadena/Pasadena area. Although I considered all options to be good ones, at the time my father was resistant to moving, so he remained at his assisted living facility. Over the course of the next year his condition worsened. When it was no longer an option for him to stay in his own apartment, I called Mauricio and, once again, he quickly responded and took me to tour several Board and Care facilities in Altadena/Pasadena, one of which ended up being a perfect fit for my father. The caretakers were loving, responsible, patient, and gentle; the food was fresh and delicious; the house was clean and well maintained. My father passed on in early January 2019 and, although I'm still processing this loss, I am grateful for the help and support Mauricio and Golden Pathways extended to my family. Unlike some of the larger organizations that work with families seeking elderly care - many of which are national corporations with customer service representatives located in other states - Maurico works out of a local office on Allen Ave in Pasadena. He is responsive and accessible, both on the phone and in person, and helps to guide families through the complicated and emotional process of understanding available options and locating the right one - at no cost to your family. His professionalism, empathy, experience, and knowledge ended up being a tremendous asset when it came to my family's situation. I will always be thankful for Mauricio's guidance and highly recommend him and Golden Pathways to other families in similar situations. read more

We are so thankful to Mauricio and Golden Pathways for coming to our rescue! read more
