"I never thought for a minute that you could help me find a home so quickly for my mother who has dementia. The assisted home refused to accept her back and she had no where else to go. I had three days to find her a place and within an hour Connections gave me a comprehensive list of homes to visit." - Valerie
"Finding the right place for your parents isn't that easy if it's not going to be with you. Connections asked the right questions and within an hour they came back with not a long list of homes, but with the ones they felt would be suitable for my parents needs and their lifestyle." - Vicki
Questions about care homes?
We have the Answers.

Looking for the right care home placement for a loved one may seem like an overwhelming and daunting task.


Like most discriminating consumers you want to make sure you have all the information at your fingertips to make the right decisions. Tapping into expert advice from care professionals who specialize in the arena of care home placement can save you time, money and peace of mind.

Since 1990, Connections Referral Service, Inc. has helped thousands of families find quality care homes in Southern California and we can help you too.

We provide information and/or referral at
no cost to the consumer to retirement homes, assisted living homes, board and care, skilled nursing facilities (also called skilled nursing homes or convalescent hospitals) life care (also called continuing care) and Alzheimer's homes.

We personally visit and evaluate each retirement and care home we recommend based on atmosphere, quality and level of care, staffing, experience of administrator and more. We only recommend quality homes we feel to be appropriate based on the senior's wants and care needs.

We maintain a comprehensive database of each home we visit, the current prices, number of clients we have placed in each home and the overall satisfaction level of the families whose relatives we have placed in the care facility (by follow up calls). Before making any referral we find out availability, price based on care needs, and the mental acuity of the current residents (for example: how many are alert vs. those that have dementia or Alzheimer's).

We are very particular about the homes we recommend. From the 1000's of care homes we have seen and evaluated we only recommend the homes we feel to be the best.

We're free, friendly and experts in our field. Why not give us a try? Call us and see how our services can help you in your search for the right care home.

"The Connections team really helped me in finding the perfect place for my mother.  While other companies just give you a name and address, the Connections Team actually prescreen their homes saving me a lot of time.  They even helped me negotiate a price. I highly recommend The Connections Network." - Sonyaa
