  • All About Care Senior Services

    Welcome to All About Care
    "Helping Families Find That Special Place
    For Their Loved Ones"

    image

    All About Care Senior Services is a FREE senior referral service. We offer referrals to seniors who can no longer live independently on their own. We refer to the following types of licensed facilities:

    • Retirement Communities
    • Assisted Living Facilities
    • Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly
    • Alzheimer's/Dementia Facilities
    • Skilled Nursing Homes
    • Hospice

    We understand there’s no place quite like your own home. That's why the staff at All About Care Senior Services is committed to helping you find that special new place to call home for your loved one. We are a referral service dedicated to providing you with comprehensive resources to aid in your search for senior housing. We do all referrals FREE to you or your family.

    Whether your loved one is in need of just a little extra help with their daily living tasks or they need more one on one type of care, we can help. Our senior placement advisers will work with you and your family one on one to find the perfect place that meets all your needs on a budget you can afford.

    We understand how stressful and over whelming it can be to do all the research yourself especially with the numerous options available. Our team of senior placement advisers does all the research on every home and facility that we recommend to you. We will offer you referrals based on your loved one’s level of care needed, location desired, and monthly budget amount.

    We take pride in helping remove the worry out of this important decision. Call us today to set up a time to discuss your specific needs and let our team of advisers do the work for you so you don’t have to. There is never a charge to you for our services and there is no obligation.

    At All About Care, we understand what an emotional and confusing time this is. Not only are we a placement agency, we had to find that special place for our loved one.

  • About Us

    Lori Baca founded All About Care Senior Services in 2001, after her grandmother became ill and had to be placed in a Residential Care Facility. She found this to be a very emotional and confusing task. It took days of searching before she found just the right place. After going through this Lori decided to learn how to assist other families going through similar situations. By going through this herself Lori TRULY understands what families are going through during this difficult time.

    image

    Through her research she found when families are in similar situations, they are given a small book and brochures and told to "pick a place". This gives them names of hundreds of facilities; however they have to spend countless hours searching, not knowing if the place would be right for their loved one.

    To help better understand this process, Lori became a certified administrator with the State Of California, Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing. She is continuously receiving additional training and can provide clients with current "Title 22" regulations.

    Lori was and still is a Licensed Insurance Agent in the State of California. She decided to put her insurance career on hold to open All About Care Senior Services. Lori is a senior advocate who volunteer her time in the senior community. Thirteen years later, All About Care Senior Services serves all of Northern California.

  • Testimonials

    "Lori was very compassionate during this
    difficult time, ensuring me every thing
    will work out fine, which it did".
    ~ Pat Ferriera, Discovery Bay, CA ~

    "As a medical social worker in an acute
    hospital setting, Jim and Lori were a god-send.
    They are competent, knowledgeable and
    the best placement agency I know of.
    I only use ALL ABOUT CARE".
    ~ Lauren Hyman, MSW San Pablo, CA ~

    "Lori was a lifesaver, she did all of the work
    for us and made it much less stressful than
    it would have been with out her".
    ~ Gloria Dundoro, Pleasanton, CA ~

    "It was one of the worst times in my life,
    when I had to put my father in a home.
    It was even more difficult than the passing
    of my mom. I was given Jim's phone number
    from the staff at San Pablo Medical Center.
    I called him and within a matter of hours
    my dad had a home to move into,
    that fit his need perfectly.
    I can't thank ALL ABOUT CARE enough".
    ~ Booker Baker Jr., Richmond, CA ~

    “Recently, my mother (97) was no longer
    able to live independently. Lori was very
    helpful in assessing our needs and then
    locating Board and Care facilities that could
    accommodate us in a difficult transition.
    Lori was very professional and knowledgeable
    in the entire process.
    Thank you Lori for the great service.”
    ~ Rick Garibaldi, Pleasanton, CA ~
