Assessing a Senior’s Care Needs
Choosing the right senior living arrangement starts with a clear understanding of your loved one’s personal situation. At California Registry, we offer personalized guidance and expert insight to help families navigate the often complex process of selecting the right care environment. When you contact our team, an experienced senior care counselor will walk you through a series of simple but important questions. These questions cover key factors such as geographic preference, care requirements, medical conditions, budget range, and living preferences.
With this information, we can explain the different levels of care available—including Assisted Living, Residential Care (Board and Care), Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing Facilities—and help you determine which option is best suited for your situation. Our goal is to provide you with trusted, unbiased information that empowers you to make a confident and informed decision for yourself or a family member.
Expert Guidance and Honest Advice
Our team has extensive experience working with families in every stage of the senior care journey. We don’t just help you understand facility types and costs—we also provide valuable tips on what to look for, what questions to ask, and what red flags to avoid when visiting or evaluating care communities. Whether you’re planning ahead or responding to an urgent health issue, we’re here to help simplify the process and eliminate guesswork.
Referrals Based on Your Needs
After we learn more about your situation, we will provide you with a curated list of care options that meet your specific criteria—whether that’s location, pricing, level of care, or special services. All referrals are drawn from our up-to-date database of pre-screened, licensed senior living communities across California. We can share this information by email, fax, or mail, depending on your preference.
If your family is in a time-sensitive situation and needs immediate placement assistance, we will take an active role by contacting communities on your behalf to confirm availability and ensure that your loved one qualifies for admission—so you’re not wasting time visiting facilities that aren’t a fit.
