How We Operate
At California Registry, we provide trusted, personalized senior care referrals to help individuals and families navigate one of life’s most important decisions: finding the right living situation for an aging loved one. As a free public service licensed by the California Department of Health, our mission is to simplify the process and reduce the stress of locating appropriate care by offering expert guidance and carefully vetted options.
Whether you’re looking for an Assisted Living community, Board and Care home, Memory Care facility (Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s), Skilled Nursing, or Retirement Living, we take time to understand your unique circumstances and recommend facilities that are best suited to your needs.
Personalized Support from Senior Care Experts
When you contact California Registry, you’ll speak directly with a knowledgeable senior care advisor. We’ll guide you through a free, confidential consultation, asking important questions about your loved one’s care needs, location preferences, budget, and lifestyle goals. With this insight, we create a tailored list of qualified communities that meet your criteria—so you can avoid the time and uncertainty of searching on your own.
Our advisors are also here to explain the differences between care levels, from Assisted Living and Residential Care to Skilled Nursing and Memory Care. We’ll walk you through what to expect, how pricing works, and what to watch out for when visiting or evaluating facilities. Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident and informed at every step.
Carefully Screened Facilities
All communities we refer have been personally evaluated by California Registry and our partner network, Elderlink. We only recommend licensed, reputable facilities we would feel comfortable choosing for our own family members. Our database is updated regularly to reflect current availability, services offered, and care capabilities.
Clear Boundaries, No Pressure
California Registry is committed to transparency and integrity. We do not provide referrals for:
- Adult housing for individuals under age 60
- General apartment complexes
- HUD or Section 8 housing
- Other low-income housing programs
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, our team is happy to point you in the right direction or refer you to trusted public agencies and resources that may be able to help.
