SANTA ROSA, Calif. – Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior care provider and referral service, announced the launch of its franchise in the Santa Rosa area.

Assisted Living Locators will provide the full continuum of care locating quality assisted living options throughout Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties. The franchise is owned by Eldercare Advisor Ramona Maurer.

Assisted Living Locators now has franchises in Santa Rosa, El Dorado, Thousand Oaks, San Gabriel Valley, West Inland Empire and Los Angeles.

Assisted Living Locators offers a no cost service for seniors and their families providing expert advice on short and long-term care options, including in-home care, independent living, assisted living, memory care, and retirement apartments. It generates revenue from the referral fees paid by the facilities.

According to the Administration on Aging, the population of adults 65 and older is experiencing the biggest increase in history. Between 2010 and 2050, the number of seniors is expected to more than double.

“As a result of our growing senior population, many different options for care and housing are available, including in-home companion care, 55+ communities, independent retirement options, assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes,” said Maurer. “Seniors and their families need a trusted advisor to help them navigate what can be an overwhelming amount of information. We are also a resource for short-term respite care, emergency discharges, and out-of-town relocations.”

She explained that Assisted Living Locators offers a complete assessment of a senior’s needs and recommends a plan that provides the full continuum of care.

“Our goal is to assist families in choosing appropriate care options for their loved ones, to save time, decrease stress, and to provide 'peace of mind,’” said Maurer. “And because I’m local and in the community, I look at a wide range of options for seniors that just can’t be matched by online resource databases. I tour and rank all the facilities I recommend, and make sure all our partners in the senior care market are fully committed to providing the best care possible.
I’m passionate about helping others and I’m excited to help others navigate the system to find the best senior care options for their loved ones,” she added.
