Guidance inspired
by my own family.

My interest in senior placement began with my own family.

When we needed to find assisted living for a loved one, I hadn’t realized how many decisions and small details were involved. It was already a sensitive time, and trying to understand the options without someone to guide us added to the stress.

Then a relative reached out. Until that moment, we hadn’t known she owned a senior placement agency. She shared her knowledge, walked us through details we might have missed, and helped us find an assisted living community that was a wonderful fit for our loved one.

That experience stayed with me. I saw how much relief the right guidance could bring, and it inspired me to help other families through the same process.

I started Love & Patience Senior Placement to offer that personal support: someone who listens, explains the options, and helps families take the next step. Helping a family feel less overwhelmed—and seeing their loved one settle into a community they’re happy with—is what makes this work meaningful to me.

A personal approach, with clear roles.

I work with families and social workers in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles and Kern counties and surrounding areas. I help organize the search, compare possible resources and prepare useful questions. Providers assess care needs and confirm services; your family makes the choice.
