James B. was a true blessing during my uncle's transition from rehab. He answered every call, text, and question with patience, compassion, and professionalism--turning a stressful process into one we could handle with confidence and peace of mind. His dedication and kindness made all the difference for our family. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for care for their family member! read more

This review is going to reveal what can be considered an absolute rescue story ! 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 . ​ read more

This is an ASAP service when you need As Soon As Possible help. I would not hesitate to call them. I took care of a loved one too long without help. I was referred by a Kaiser Nurse Practitioner to this service because I could no longer wait for help. Placement Helpers explained my options. They got me home health the next day, at a good price. They also came with a car and driver for me to tour a few board & care facilities. They also sent me a car and driver when I had been up all night in the ER and needed papers signed. I dealt with the proprietors, Valerie and JoAnne directly at all times. They always check in, follow up and arrange and pay for transport to a facility. They are involved and follow up. The driver is lovely. I feel I can depend on them. read more

I love Placement Helpers , thats why I started working here . I love how caring all the team is . After my Dad passed I wanted to do something meaningful something that I can do and help the elderly community. And i found this job that from part time became full time and I love it . What we do is: we help guide families through the journey of aging by finding care options for themselves or their loved ones, including locating an assisted living or memory care community, a board and care home, or helping to find an in-home caregiver. We assist folks in making informed decisions by giving them choices and relieving them of the stressors of not knowing what to do and where to begin by assessing their needs, desires, budget, preferred location, and recommending a variety of options that best suit their personal situations. read more

My friend was in a hospital in San Gabriel and needed to move to an assisted living facility when he left the hospital. We were referred to Placement Helpers in Pasadena and connected with Robert Perez. I told him that we would be the only people in California who would be able to help him and visit him and that we live in Marina Del Rey. I wanted to see if he could find any place for our friend near where we live. He was outstanding in every way when he helped us. He found a place for our friend at Westwood Plaza Senior Living and we moved him there. First of all, it is only 7 miles from our house, and it is a price that our friend can afford. Most important, the people who work there are very caring, our friend loves the chef and the food, and even though he is confused, he is not complaining about living there. Robert Perez should be commended for the outstanding job he does in listening, and matching people with places. He is a valuable asset to your company and deserves much praise for the hard work he does. read more

Helping an aging family member into a facility is often a very emotional experience. I can't tell you how helpful it was to have these lovely people help guide us through this process. They talked us through the process, looked into all our options, found everything we were looking for, and even offered to come visit the places for us. The work they did was invaluable in a very trying time. Thank you! read more

Valerie at Placement Helpers did a great job with helping my family find new acommadations, within our price range, and all within 2 days! I didnt know what do when i recieved a call stating my father no longer had a bed at his home and we didnt have another one locked in. Thanks a million for your superb service! read more

Lifesaver with a kind soul is what James embodies! He is so incredibly patient and listens to what you ask and found a great place for my mom with advanced Alzheimer's. It was such a difficult decision to place my mom from the home she lived in over 50 years but she was no longer safe at home and my aunt could no longer care for her. They have activities and special people who will make their lives better and I so appreciate James for giving us great advice and knowledge!! You're the best at what you do!! read more

We were looking for a place for our sister. I was referred to Placement Helpers and it was an answer to our prayers. Reason being... James. He went above and beyond for us. He set up our appointment to tour the home called back to see how our appointment went. He kept checking in to see if there was anything he could do to help us. James didn't have to do any of the follow up, but he did. I thanked him every time he called. When you have to find a place for a family member it's very stressful. James made it effortless. James even called after we had moved my sister in to the home. If everyone receives the customer service James provided us the world would be a better place. If you need assistance please call this place. You won't be sorry. Again thank you James. read more

I can not say enough good things about Valerie. Today we had the very hard task of finding a place for my Dad to go when he is released from the hospital after having a stroke. My parents were living at their own home before this happened but are not able to live there now without some kind of help for Dad. Valerie took us to 3 different places and we found a place that we believe will be a great fit for my Dad and Mom. Dad will receive the care he needs, and Mom will be able to just be his wife and not a full time care giver. Thank you Valerie for your patience and kindness you showed to us all and especially helping us figure out a great solution for a very complex and emotional problem. read more

James helped my family find an assisted living for my grandma! He is unbelievably caring and knowledgeable, and goes out of his way to answer any and all questions. James even took the time to take me on a tour of different facilities. read more

Robert was such a help during a very stressful time. He took a lot of time to talk to me and find out exactly what I was looking for. I needed to move quickly to move my father and Robert made it all happen. He showed that he cared more about the best care for my father than "selling me" on any particular place. I've met other placement specialists from other companies and meeting Robert was so refreshing. People like him just don't exist these days! read more

I currently live in Texas and contacted Placement Helpers in order to find a caregiver for my elderly mother that is in Southern California. The staff was super helpful and reassured me that even though there were quite a few miles between me and my mother, that they would be able to assist me. And they did just that. Their professional staff put me at ease and provided quality care at a reasonable price and were able to find just the right level of care that my mother required. What a blessing! Thank you! read more

The ladies of assisted transition are spectacular at what they do. Valerie is such a knowledgable placement specialist. She can help you with any question at anytime day or night. The others at the office are very helpful too. Trust that if you need help with yourself or an elderly loved one and you are confused about what to do, Valerie will tell you about all the options and recommend you to the right places. She can take you on tours (for free!) of all the best places in your area. I called her later in the evening after work and I didn't get an answering machine I got her live voice! She's the owner and from what she said and how much she knows she has been doing this a long time and knows how to help each individual situation. Always professional and a pleasure to work with this place knows how to help quickly with a personal touch. Thanks again for helping me with my mom! read more

Christina Montes at placement helpers out of Pasadena did a great job navigating us all the thru the process of finding my aunt (dementia) a wonderful board and care . My aunt was being discharged from the hospital and literally the next day we visited a few places and placed her in it that night. Wow. We were amazed. She kept in constant communication and made a stressful situation very smooth for the family. read more

I first called this company because a social worker from Kaiser gave me a brochure after my grandma had to go to the hospital and could not return home by herself. The owner of the company answered the phone and put me at ease right away. She arranged for a caregiver to come and stay with my grandma, help her get dressed and showered, and do grocery shopping and errands. The woman who stayed with my grandma was a CNA and she was very nice, reliable and trustworthy. The owner made sure to keep me informed and answer all my questions and concerns in a very friendly, professional manner. She was top notch. Then, about a week ago my family had a meeting and decided that my grandma would be better off in an assisted living home, where she can have other seniors to talk to and do activities with and have staff there all the time. We were really stressed because this is a huge step and a lot to handle. Placement Helpers came to the rescue AGAIN, this time the other owner of the company arranged to take me and my parents on a tour of some wonderful local facilities. He was so knowledgeable and nice, and he clearly knew what he was talking about. I've called him several times with questions, and he always gets back to me right away and puts my mind at ease. My parents and I have picked out a great place for my grandma, we put a deposit down today, and I know she will be very happy there. THANK YOU Placement Helpers for guiding my family through this difficult time. I will make sure to let all my friends and co-workers know about your amazing service. read more

James at Placement Helpers was the angel my family needed when it was time to place my mom in a memory care facility. I am so grateful for his knowledge, his kindness, and his personal assistance in accompanying us on facility tours! James truly cares about helping families find the best care for their loved ones. He follows up and is genuinely interested in the outcome. I highly recommend that anyone in this difficult situation give James a call. He's a kind, honest man with a lot of knowledge about local facilities. I could not have done this without him! read more

I was very surprised at how good the quality of care is in senior living these days. And they will help you through the entire process of finding just the right home for your parent. read more

I've been working with Rob at Placement Helpers and I truly believe he and this company are a Godsend. They really care about each and every client. They are knowledgeable, informative, and patient and are dedicated to meeting the needs of each client. I needed help finding some living solutions for my father who needs total care because of an assortment of disabilities. Rob was so quick to give me advice and show me possible living solutions. I felt like I really had an advocate in this journey. I would highly recommend this business to anyone, because I really feel they are motivated by the heart. read more

Recently dealt with this company and the rep I had experience with was very cold and motivated by his commission only. Not concerned about much else besides getting a contract executed. Sadly this process requires some sort of compassion, but you won't get it here. He was much like a cheesy car salesman. Bad attitude and actually rude. Shame on you Kaiser for referring this company. read more

I set up a Yelp account just for this because I was so turned off by this company. I called Placement Helpers to find out about home care for my grandma and first spoke with the receptionist. She was incredibly unfriendly, borderline rude, and not helpful to me at all. She was not knowledgeable about the process for getting care or the cost, or anything really, and therefore couldn't answer any of my questions. Instead, she gave me the phone number for Jessica the CEO and told me to call her. Didn't even offer to transfer me or leave a message for me. Uhh...ok. Why do I have to call the CEO for some simple questions? But ok...So I hung up the phone with her, and called this CEO person. She was equally as rude and unhelpful. I don't know anything about this process and she made me feel stupid for calling. For a CEO of a company she was extremely unprofessional and sounded more like someone who does this as a part time job and doesn't care about customers. No thanks Placement Helpers, I'll go somewhere that actually cares about people. My grandma deserves better. read more

Unbelievably wonderful! I had to find a board and care home for my mother in the Glendale area. She was in a rehab facility in Torrance and was being discharged within days. I called Jake at the social workers suggestion. He was phenomenally sensitive and thorough, I found a great place for her in one day. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I am astonished that this company only has one review and it is a 1 star! Let me tell you, when the doctor at the hospital told us that my grandmother was going to be released but they felt that she was unable to care for herself and we needed to find an assisted living home for her we were saddened but what was shocking they only gave us 3 days notice. The hospital provided us with a list of places that could assist us in finding and securing a place for her. We called one since we were familiar (we saw an ad for them somewhere) and they told us the timeline was too short and they could not accommodate our needs. That left us slightly worried that we were not going to be able to find her a place. Then we called this company. Not only did they tell us "no problem" but they came out to the hospital to meet with us and Grandma, then they chauffeured us around to show us different assisted living homes. We had dealings with a gentleman named James and a lady named Valerie, let me tell you they were a godsend for my family. She was super sweet and friendly and what I really appreciated from James was he was very blunt and honest with us. Which we needed since we were kinda all over the place with making a decision, he brought back in focus and made making a decision very easy for us. We will always be thankful to them and what they did for us. Grandma has now been in her assisted living for 2 weeks and she is very happy there, I am so grateful for that. read more
