What We Do
Caring for a loved one can be an overwhelming responsibility whether you are local, out of state or out of the country. That is why we work hard to meet the highest professional standards while caring for a Senior as if we were a trusted family member or friend.
Care Management is a service offered to help families through changes and transitions a Senior may be experiencing; be it aging in place, returning home after a hospital stay, or simply needing some help and guidance to make a plan and put some systems in place.
When Seniors can no longer stay safely at home, we help them find a new place to live, such as an Assisted Living, Independent Living, or a Board and Care/RCFE. This placement service is free for the family/client.
We provide insight and information that takes away the overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to start. We guide Seniors and families through the aging journey to meet all needs for the Senior to age safely in place or in a community.

Testimonials
We used First Class Senior Care for about a year and a half. My Mother needed all kinds of help. FCSC found nursing care for her after breaking her hip and then found and negotiated a great deal at an Assisted Care facility when it was time for transition.
Once in the Assited Care FCSC handled obtaining all the physical therapy and doctor visits and worked with Medicare and our supplemental insurance company. They even came to visit personally and took my Mom out for donuts and tea.
I live only part-time in Los Angeles so having FCSC as my "extended family" made my life so much less stressful. I would, and have, recommended them to anyone who is in need of senior-care assistance.
I can't speak highly enough about Allison and her team.

Care Management Client
Allison, You are the best - thoughtful, helpful and a delightful personality. We love knowing you are there for us.
Bill & Judy C.
Care Management Client
The place is amazing! Thank you Allison. I wasn't expecting a location of that caliber. My dad has access to everything and he can take the bus or train to his doctors. I would refer you to anyone.
Lauren R.
Placement Client
I live quite a distance away and so when I need some help for my aunt, I know I can call and get trustworthy people to help her. It helps me sleep better at night. I have confidence that the companies and services recommended by your office will do a great job.
Sayra H.

You must love your job, as you do it so well and graciously.

I just can't thank you enough for the new life you have breathed into my family.

Thank you for helping me when I need help. Bless your kind, sweet and beautiful heart.
Allison’s knowledge and caring knows no borders. Allison consulted with me when I was looking for caregivers for my mother in Toronto, Canada. She met with us, interviewed the caregivers, assessed their qualifications and fit with my mother, and then advised me on what type of care would be best for her. She also helped create a Care Plan for her and guided the Caregivers on their schedules and explained the Care Plan so they would feel comfortable with knowing exactly what their job would be while working with my mom. I had a limited time in Toronto to figure out care and Allison came to my rescue and looked after things quickly.
Karen S.
Care Management Client
I was referred to Allison to find a place for my mother when we moved to LA this year. My elderly mother has several challenges and restrictions. Allison was instrumental working with all the constraints to find the right fit. She was available for me and provided as many alternatives as she could find within a short period of time. She coordinated visits to potential places where my mother would be able to live and be taken care of.
We really appreciate all her work and help. My mother has adjusted to her new home and is being well taken care of.
R.L.
Placement Client
What I loved about Allison from the very beginning is that she is always ten steps ahead of me, allowing us to take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach. My mom knows and likes Allison, and Allison tends to stop by the house about twice a month to see how things are going. She has been immensely helpful during this time that I’ve needed to manage things from Ecuador, as she is my “boots on the ground” and has been integral in the process of interviewing and hiring our Caregivers.
