We used Assisted Living Locators, specifically Michael Belles, to find a local assisted living community for my brother, who was moving to the Bay Area from Seattle. Michael took into account the needs of my brother and also my whole family to determine the right kind of place that suited everyone's needs. He arranged tours at 3 very good places, and helped us with making sure we were getting the best information from these communities while we were there. Michael never pushed in any one direction, but was extremely reachable while we were making our determination on the most appropriate place for my brother. He was the conduit between our family and the folks at Fremont Hills, which is where my brother eventually was placed. I would strongly recommend that for anyone in the East Bay who needs to search for an assisted living place for their loved one, to utilize the services that Assisted Living Locators offers, and if suitable, ask for Michael Belles in particular. My brother is very happy at Fremont Hills and our family couldn't be more satisfied with how things went.

Michael has been working with me on placing my sister in an assisted living community in Elk Grove, CA. He asked me to provide thorough background about my sister and her health as well as questions regarding the type of placement we were looking for. Michael helped narrow our search down to 4 places. He did extensive research into the backgrounds of the communities and ranked them according to any violations that were reported to the state and the outcomes regarding the violations. The analyses were very thorough, including assessment of breadth and quality of services provided (including food service). I had a very good idea about each place we visited. He also sent over a list of questions to consider when interviewing the different placements. Even though Michael covers the greater East Bay area, residing and working in the Oakland area,  he met me in Elk Grove (near Sacramento) and accompanied us on each tour. I have worked with location services before.  Also, my husband takes care of his sister and at various times, we have enlisted help with such services – however, we’ve never received such in-depth help. I also worked with someone when I first moved my sister, which resulted in her move to an independent community. I have never worked with anyone as thorough and research oriented as Michael.  We were so happy to find him and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of such assistance.

Michael provides the most sophisticated senior placement service in the East Bay. His process is transparent, data-driven, and incredibly empathetic. He understands the 'why' behind care fees and community structures, ensuring families don't overpay for services they don't need. If you want an advisor who treats your loved one's care like a mission-critical project, Michael is your guy; 6 stars out of 5.

Michael at Assisted Living Locators was an absolute pleasure to work with. He’s incredibly responsive and truly takes the time to think through every situation from all angles. That level of thoughtfulness made the entire process so much less stressful, because I never had to worry about missing anything important regarding my parents’ needs. Michael is thorough, caring, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit. I highly recommend him to anyone navigating this process for a loved one.

Michael Belles is a wonderful! He is an experienced person to work with. From the very first conversation, Michael and his team was kind and knowledgeable and truly attentive to their client's needs. He took the time to understand the situation and scenario, and answered all questions that with patience, and guided his clients with each step of the process without any pressure. What stood out the most was his genuine compassion, and commitment to finding the right fit- not just any option. Thanks to his support, I felt confident and reassured during what could have been a very stressful time for his client, they were in good hands. Michael's professionalism, clear communication and heartfelt care is what every family's needs during these stressful moments. I highly recommend reaching out to Michael to anyone looking for trusted guidance and support in finding the best care.

Michael arranged a meeting for an assisted living community for Pamela, which she accepted. Then he helped during her move in. His helpfulness was very much appreciated in making a difficult transition a whole lot easier. He stayed through until it was completely done. Outstanding support. We highly recommend him.

I have worked with Michael for over 12 years. He has always been very thorough & supportive-listens to his customer's wants & needs, verifies details, follows through to make sure all open points are closed, and checks back after completion to make sure the customer is satisfied with the results. He works quickly to support his customers and communicates progress regularly. If there are other options/potential solutions, he brings them to his customer for review and input-never changing the plan without alignment. For these professional reasons, along with Michael's cheerful and caring personality, I have always enjoyed working with him. Mary Jane D

Michael was amazing!  I was not sure which type of home would be best for my mother, so Michael arranged tours for Assisted Living, Memory Care, and residential homes.  Michael is knowledgable in the end to end process and guided me throughout.  I recommend Michael to anyone looking for Assisted Living and Memory Care.  Michael was easy to work with and arranged everything around my schedule.  Thank you Michael!
