Testimonials

Mom is settling in very well. I am very pleased with the house, location and staff. I am confident that Mom is safe and well cared for. The administrator is a professional as well as a kind, sympathetic lady. I appreciate everything you and Allen have done to help me find Mom a place she can rehab and thrive in. It is a great relief knowing she is in a good, nurturing environment. Thanks for all you do and checking in on us.

Your service took much of the legwork out of a task I found quite daunting... emotionally and physically. Ian Wiese was always there when needed, checking in and giving encouragement at just the right time. I will HIGHLY recommend Care Placement!

Tamara W. for her mom Ramona R.

My mom is in her last days the Hospice nurse told me yesterday. Thank you to you and Allen for the help and support you gave me in finding a nice, clean place for her. The staff is so nice, and caring. I thank God for sending you my way.

Michael Ortman found a wonderful home for my ailing brother in San Diego, since I was too ill to be there. He took care of a thousand problems... he even introduced me to other experts and advised me on difficult issues. He went out of his way to check everything out and kept in constant contact by telephone. I highly recommend Michael at Care Placement to anyone whose loved one needs immediate care. He will take a world of worry off your shoulders.

Cynthia S. from Maryland

Spring Valley

Thank you Michael for all your help. Whenever anyone asks me about trying to find an assisted living facility I refer them to you. Please put some business cards in the mail to me to so I can actually pass them out.

Lisa for her father Arnold G.

Vista

Michael has been incredibly helpful. Our mom continues to get stronger so there is no immediate need for another facility. In the future, when we do go visiting, we have promised to mention Care Placement and Michael Ortman.

Tom F. for Shirley F.

Carmel Valley

Your office has been so supportive, understanding and helpful. You have relieved much of the stress I feel in trying to deal with these issues.

Dean C.

Thanks Ken for helping us find such a wonderful care home for my mom. We are so happy with the quality of the home and their care and couldn't be more pleased with your services.

Sonya for Ethel B.

Lakeside

Your company is a gem. I am also a paralegal, and am used to research, but you cut down on that task considerably by sending us information on places that you recommend. Mom had no idea where to start when she started looking last June, (nor would I), and then she sent me the email with the recommendations from you. I now had the field narrowed for me, and that made an easier trek of it.

Tina S.

Mira Mesa

Thank you for helpimg us find a beautiful residence for my mother. The administrator is wonderful and the caregivers are so kind and patient. Michael Ortman and his assistant Sarah Winfield were so helpful without the pressure I have experienced with some other agencies. Thank you again for your help.

Cyril for his brother Stephen G.

San Diego

Hi Michael -- Just wanted to get back with you and thank you so much for all your help in referring me to various facilities in full board and care for my dad. The good news is we have chosen to go with Michele of Lafayette Home Care. Our plan is to move dad in on Friday, July 4th. Still working to get him out of his current location though. Additionally both sites you referred to me in my area were wonderful from facilities to administrators. And I can honestly say both places would have been great for my dad. Thanks again for the referrals......you made my research in finding a nice home for my dad so easy and stress free during such a difficult time. My Best, Marjorie

Marjorie for Larry A.

I am really appreciative of your service. We needed to get my dad into a place quickly and doing a lot of research would have taken a lot of time. I will definitely recommend your service.

Shauna and Allen, Thank you for your assistance in helping me find an Assisted Living Home for my mom! My mother's condition has somewhat stabilized. She is on a puree diet and sleeps most of the time. I will be at her home tomorrow to see her. She has been able to talk and communicate a little better too! Once again, thank you for your concern and assistance during this busy and stressful time. Sincerely, Robert B.

Robert B.

Ken and Holly were absolutely the best! The facility you recommended is extremely caring, clean, responsive, and friendly. They truly care about their residents.

Christine for Catherine B.

I'm so pleased with your referral. Ken did me a service that is out of this world. Thanks a million.

Harry for his wife Marion H.

Orange County

I just wanted to say thank you very much for everything. I do remember talking to you over the phone but I was a bit lost in the events that have unfolded. One thing is clear now and that is Ian has been a great help and without his services Mom would have been seriously neglected by the system. I can't thank you all enough...

Brad L for his mom

East County

My sister and I can't say enough good things about Mike Harrity and the way he "held our hands" and counselled us when we were looking for the right placement for our dad. Mike's advice about not waiting for a catastrophic event really gave us comfort when my dad was not being realistic about his need for care.

Kathleen for her father, Charles D.

San Clemente

My mother moved to a lovely home in Solana Beach. We couldn't be happier. Thanks for your leg work in finding the perfect home.

Dora C.

I am so grateful to Care Placement! You made a very difficult situation so easy for me, and more importantly, my mother.

Paulette for Carmen M.

San Diego

Your service was outstanding Michael. You narrowed down all the criteria to help us find the right home in the right location, all laid out very systematically, your descriptions, pictures, etc. Vista was the first we toured, it's the ideal place for her. No complaints, nothing but praise for the place, the price, and the owner's communication with me. I couldn't have asked for more.

Phil for mom Marie M.

Mike, thanks for your kind phone message today. You're amazing.

I want to thank you Doug, and your staff, for being so helpful and responsive. I don't believe we would have found such an appropriate placement for my mother so quickly, without your very timely assistance! We are truly grateful.

Kethryn T.

Brea

Thank you for asking. Well...You just do not know how grateful I am that Mike send us several places so that we knew the minute we walked in to her current facility, IT WAS THE PLACE FOR MY DAUGHTER! And she has been there about a month and my feelings are the same. I will always thank Mike and I will tell anyone who needs a place to contact him.

Lori M.

La Mesa

Everything is going fantastic! I don't think we would have found a better place than Mike Harrity's recommendation- they are wonderful people and my dad's improved health is definite proof of that! My sister and I couldn't be happier! We are so grateful to Mike!

Sandy M.

Mission Viejo

At the time, I thought it would be an easy task to find a facility for my mother. I was resistant to utilizing a placement specialist and thought I could handle it myself. It was an overwhelming experience! The day I met Michael, he immediately went to work. With the information I provided. He and his assistant Sarah found several places that fit my criteria. They emailed a profile of the different places and then did a follow-up to find out if I had been contacted by the facilities. I finally found a nice facility, close to me. Sarah sent an email asking about my experience so far with the one I had chosen. Their professionalism and genuine care made a huge difference and I would not hesitate to recommend Care Placement to anyone who is undergoing the same experience.

Sherry for her mom, Barbara H.

East County

Ken is an angel, sent to us in our time of need, who led us where we had to go! Everything ... was made possible because of Ken's directions.

Thank you and Cody for placing my father in a wonderful environment.

Cindy F.

We were very impressed and appreciative of Ken Mortensen. He called us back within 30 minutes of mom being in the Emergency Room. The Doctor told us she couldn't return home, so Ken sent us 2 care homes almost immediately. We chose one of them and moved mom in. Unfortunately, she passed away a few months later.

Martin & Barbara

Thank you Ken for your prompt and efficient service. I received a list of options right away and by the next day we found a great care home for my bedridden mother. I am so grateful for your help. You saved me so much time.

Beth M for Esther R.

Escondido

Thank you Ken for helping us find Redwood Terrace. I have told all of my friends to contact you for assistance. You did an amazing job of finding the right place for my wife and I.

Jack B.

As a Social Services worker I have personally worked with patients who have used Care Placement's services and have found them to be professional, timely, and sensitive to the family's specific needs. I would certainly recommend Care Placement.

Phillip P.

Thank you for following up on Larry Martinez. He really likes the facility and feels very comfortable there. He likes having his own space to call home. Everyone is nice and friendly. He likes the meals and the amenities they have to offer. I would definitely recommend it. Mike Harrity was great to work with and I am so happy he had it on his list for us to consider.

Jeannie D. for her brother

Both places would have been great for my dad. Thanks again for the referrals......you made my research in finding a nice home for my dad so easy and stress free during such a difficult time.

The referral for George seems to be ideal for him in every respect. I appreciate John's assistance and referral. Thank you.

Sandra M.

Clairemont

Mom absolutey LOVES her 'new home'. The kind and loving care of the staff, the EXCELLENT food, the spotless cleanliness, the level of organization, attention to detail (ESPECIALLY with Mom's many medications) is worthy of the highest praise and recognition. It all happened so suddenly for all of us, and there is not a one of us in our family who is not overjoyed to have discovered, through Mike of course, the most wonderful care home(s). I already referred some friends to Care Placement. All the best to Abby and Mike too in their worthy endeavors creating happiness for families such as ours.

Glenda for her mom, Phyllis M.

Sybil for mom Audrey S.

First of all, we can't thank Mike enough for all of his TLC at one of our most stressful times. His calm demeanor and encouraging remarks led us to a perfect place for our Mom. [...] We're very thankful for crossing paths with Care Placement and especially meeting Mike. he puts his heart into his job and it shows.

Joyce for her mom, Claribel B.

South Bay

Please pass along my thanks to Allen for his time and "perfect" placement abilities. I carry his card in my wallet in case I can ever pass it on. I can finally sleep well knowing my mom is safe and well taken care of, in a clean, caring home. She feels comfortable and gets good care. All the caregivers are extremely caring and attentive. The owner and his wife are always available and want all the residents to feel like family. Safety is a priority there. I would highly recommend placement here to anyone should any rooms become available.

Tina for her Gloria H.

El Cajon

Thank you Doug and Holly, for all of your help in assisting my family to find suitable placement for my Dad. What you do is so very important. I wish you the very best as you continue to provide care options to families in need of your expertise.

C.V. for Blanche V.

Allen, you were so kind to listen to our story and our challenges. I wish to thank you for the referral. You listened and you so graciously said that perhaps you had one more person who may be able to assist in finding mother a home that she deserves. Our family thanks you for your understanding and compassion.
