Founded on Compassion. Built for Growth.
Founded in 2003 by registered nurse Angela Olea, Assisted Living Locators was created to simplify the often overwhelming process of finding the right senior care solution. What began as a compassionate mission has evolved into a nationally recognized brand serving families across the country.

Families receive expert guidance and support at no cost, while franchisees are compensated through referral relationships with senior housing providers and care communities.
