Our Clients Love Us

We have 80 Five Star Google Reviews.

“Eric was absolutely amazing in helping us. We had a terrible experience at the first place we tried to move my mom, so were very open to help as we tried to find an alternative, and were extremely excited to find Eric. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we could not have done it without Eric. He was knowledgeable, helpful, supportive and thoughtful. A fantastic person to have on our team. Even when it looked like we wouldn’t be able to move into our #1 pick, Eric was able to find us some extra help to make it possible. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

Josh Granger

“Eric was nothing short of pure awesomeness! In a time of absolute depression and mayhem, he rose to the occasion and resurrect a feeling of helplessness. Eric knew that time was of the essence and that finances were of key importance…he was able to assist in same day site visitation and was a white knight negotiating on our behalf. My parents have now been in the independent facility since mid-November, even in this time of COVID they have been able to make new friends and feel a long overdue sense of comfort. We highly recommend Eric and his team.”

Bruce Schmutter

“If you are reading these reviews, then you know how overwhelming and scary it is to find the right Assisted Living facility for your loved ones.
Eric and his colleagues were instrumental in helping us find a great memory care assisted living. He also was a huge help in learning more about the programs and services available to us as we budget and plan for the future. (He even took the time to contact the government to answer some questions for us, and we all know what a process that can be!)
Whether you need a little advice, or a lot of hand-holding, you will find it here.”

Ellen Kelliher

“I had somewhat of a difficult search. I looked for a place in which my withi-it 94 year old dad would feel independent that also had accommodations for my brother who has early onset Alzheimer’s. Eric Leopold was very patient with my questions and inquiries. It took over a year to zero in on the just right place. My dad and brother see each other every day. My brother is happy because he says “everyone is so nice to me.” My dad a tried and true loner has made friends. And he loves going to meals! No more microwaved meals! All in all a very successful placement! Thanks to Eric!”

Barrie Gillies

“Faced with making the best determination for my mother-in-law’s future and clueless about the ins and outs of elder care, finding Eric saved our sanity. From the moment we first spoke, I felt comfortable and reassured that we were in good hands. Eric even stepped in to help move things along when we ran into issues with the rehab center where she resided temporarily before moving to an assisted living facility. The facility we chose has already helped her immensely and we have peace of mind knowing we made the right choice. Going forward, I will recommend Eric to everyone I know that is faced with this situation.”

Terri Marshall

“Eric is a dream to work with. A few months ago my when my dad was diagnosed with an illness, I was blindly calling nursing homes in the tri-state area when one of the receptionists suggested that I connect with Eric.

Eric gave me the names of nursing homes that are the most qualified to care for him, and also made an introduction to an elder care attorney to assist with the medicaid application. My dad is now in a wonderful nursing home, and I still hear from Eric who checks in on my dad’s well-being periodically. I cannot recommend his services enough.”

Hilary Powers

“As a legal guardian and elder care specialist, I have relied repeatedly on Eric’s expertise to find the best places to relocate wards and clients who need assisted living or nursing home care. Eric has delivered every time. The facilities he has recommended are perfect matches for each individual’s medical needs, budget and personal preferences. Moreover, every facility has been first rate. They are superbly staffed and managed. They offer a wide range of events and activities. They are spacious, beautifully appointed and immaculately maintained. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric’s excellent and invaluable services.”

“Eric was a great help in guiding us as we struggled with the very difficult decision to transition our friend and family member into residential care,. It was particularly stressful given the pandemic. Eric also provided assistance with contacting other related resources that emerged during the decision making process. Even after her move and Eric’s role was essentially over he followed up with the facility to check on the adjustment of our friend/family member. This was reassuring since we could not visit her. I highly recommend Eric.”

Diane Connolly

“Eric Leopold was supportive to our needs, and did a lot of the leg work and appointments. He checked in with us after every exploratory visit, even after we had made our choice and my mom was at the facility. Lastly, he answered many of our questions and referred us to the proper person if he didn’t know the answer. I highly recommend this service as doing without is overwhelming.”

“Eric was incredibly helpful when I was beginning a search for a memory care here in New York City. He spent a lot of time on the phone getting information about my mother and what her needs were and he gave me a lot of information about how paying for assisted living works. he was very kind and understanding set up some appointments quickly and was really good at following through. Unfortunately my mother passed away so I did not need his services anymore but I highly recommend him. he’s very good at what he does and a good guy. Thank you Eric.”

CBs

“Eric was incredibly helpful to us when we needed to find a senior living solution for our uncle. Eric was very responsive, easy to work with and provided us with several options that were an exact fit for our needs. I would strongly recommend CallEric!”

Zoya Raynes

“Eric helped us find good options and narrow down the needs for my father. We were able to find a facility that has proven to be a great fit for him and makes us feel so comfortable. We can’t thank him enough.”

Sara Williams

“Eric was so very kind and professional at every point. This was a very emotional situation for me yet Eric’s concern and expertise made this a much smoother event. I would highly recommend him to my friends & family.”

Joann Snyder-Profeta

“When it comes to alternate living placement Eric is the best! He draws on his years of experience working in assisted livings to help individuals find the right fit for themselves or a loved one. Very reliable and knowledgeable with a caring heart! Highly recommend for anyone looking in the NYC/NJ area.”

Jenny Pourakis

“Eric brings compassion to the job. Some others will happily refer you to several residences that may or may not really fit the bill for you. I’ve seen him go the extra distance to ensure the Assisted Living is the right fit. He listens to what you’re saying, does his research, discusses with you, helps you shortlist and goes on the visits. He brings industry experience as sales director at an Atria, and previously at a home care agency. Call Eric, and you’ll be good.”

Ron Gold

“Eric was a pleasure to deal with. He is confident and goes the extra mile to answer any questions you have. He was very helpful in dealing with a transfer of my Dad to another facility. He followed up after the move which was greatly appreciated.”

Jeff Allen-Kantrowitz

“Let me be clear: without Eric, this process simply would not have happened. My parents moved *rapidly* from Michigan to New York due to sudden health problems and a need to be near family. We had no experience with the assisted living industry or its interconnectivity with insurance plans, memory care, etc. I drove Eric CRAZY with details and demands, which he handled professionally and with grace. In no time at all, he pointed us to the specific options relevant to our situation, negotiated a rate well below the asking price, and moved my parents in at lightening speed. I cannot recommend his services highly enough — if you are in a similar situation, call Eric without hesitation.”

Zach Firestone

“Eric made the confusing (and nerve-racking!) process of navigating assisted living so much easier and more pleasant. He is super responsive, and possesses acute knowledge of assisted living and nursing options for your loved one. Cannot recommend him enough!!!!”

Ashley Levine

“Mr Leopold was very patient and helped me to find the very best placement for my mother. At times it was a bit bumpy particularly when mom was indecisive. He was most understanding and helped to get us back on track and above all with the utmost professionalism. Highly recommend!”

Marsha Wilson

“Eric is phenomenal, his knowledge and professionalism continues to give me hope concerning my dad. I am so grateful that I was introduced to Eric thru a social worker last year. He answers all my sensitive questions embraces my concerns and challenges always provides me hope during this long grueling process. I’ve dealt with so many people no one cares like he does and in this industry empathy comes a long way- especially during a pandemic.”

Lisa Kraft

“Rod was beyond helpful in finding an assisted living facility for my parents. He explained the entire process (my sister and I were overwhelmed and clueless) and accompanied us on tours. We were operating on a very accelerated timeline to get my parents into a home that would be a good fit, and Rod efficiently lined up appointments and gave us advice whenever we needed it. Within a week and a half, my parents were living in a facility that meets all their needs, and most importantly, they are happy! On one of our tours, we witnessed Rod stop for a chat with an assisted living resident who was a former client. A true gentleman who cares about families and their best interests, and a pleasure to deal with–highly recommend!”

Cecilia

“Eric was absolutely awesome while helping me navigate a move from one NH to another for my aunt. Responsive, thoughtful, proactive and patient when needed, and ultimately helped facilitate a good move for my aunt. He is also a genuinely nice person to work with. Highly recommend with my thanks!”

Chris Williams

“We were lucky to find Eric. He is the person that we desperately needed in a crisis situation. He is patient, attentive, and has encyclopedic knowledge of assisted living facilities in the New York city area. My mom is in the right place because of him. Thank you!”

Ilya Kogan

“Eric was a terrific help to us as we evaluated options for my mother. He took the time to get to know our specific needs and presented several possible facilities. He was well organized and professional and in the end, he helped us find a place that my mother is comfortable in and we have confidence in. Thank you, Eric! We appreciate your service.”

Jedbow Meyer

“I was fortunate enough to have Eric reach out to me after searching on the internet for Assisted Living Facilities. I had no clue on where to begin and Eric was patient, knowledgeable and proceeded to find multiple options based on some very specific requests. When we finally settled on a place, he continued to check in to make sure that all was going according to plan. Extremely thankful to have Eric on my side during this new experience and would recommend anyone to reach out to him first before trying to do it on your own!!”

AM AM

“I would highly recommend using Eric. My father was very difficult to place due to his medical conditions and it took a long time to find the right place for him. At times it was so upsetting that it was hard for our family to deal but Eric was making sure that progress was being made and moved everything forward as quickly as possible. He was always following up with everyone involved making sure things were going well and that everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing, even after the move in. Thank you!”

Ilyssa Davidson

“Eric was tremendous in recommending a place for my mom. He communicated well and set expectations clearly with all parties (where she was before, the new place, and me) throughout the process. This made the transition successful and smooth. We would gladly work with Eric again.”

IK Group

“I am so thankful to have found Eric in help me at such a stressful time navigating all the aspects of finding the right assisted living for my mom. He made it very easy and made me feel at ease with the decisions needed to be made. He is knowledgeable and knows the industry and made recommendations that we didn’t even know were available to us. I highly recommend anyone looking for assisted living/memory care to reach out to him.”

Vincenza Alise

“Eric was patient with myself and my brothers during time of difficulty in our family.
His knowledge of elder care facilities in my area was instrumental in helping us get my dad the best care he needed at the time. We continue to use him after my father had additional issues that required further care.
I’d call him again tomorrow he’s a great resource.”

Don Ross

“Eric Leopold was extremely helpful in finding a place for mom. His assistance included coordinating meetings with staff members at various facilities and providing the applicable rates. We will forever be grateful.”

Andrew Petrinic

“When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia and it’s necessary to find the right senior living residence and memory care facility for her, and you are totally ignorant about what to expect and where to look, it is essential find the right advisor. We were in that situation, and fortunately, by sheer accident, we found Eric Leopold. We are happy to recommend him for his caring approach and thoughtful advice in helping us to what has turned out to be the right decision. Thank you, Eric. Sheila and Gerald Levine.”

Gerald Levine

“Eric Leopold is one of the most compassionate, understanding and creative individuals we met along our family’s journey of finding the best assisted living facility for our mother. His resourcefulness as well as his ability to guide us through this critical decision process keeping in mind the important needs to be met were a tremendous asset during this time. His experience in the field invaluable and his thoughtfulness in addressing every aspect immeasurable. I highly recommend him and his team.”

Andrieana Sugrim

“Eric directed me to the right Assisted Living facility for my mother. Before Eric was referred to me, I did not know where to get started. Eric was very patient and kind. He was with me every step of the way. Eric checks to see how my mother is adjusting to the facility. Eric Leopold is the person to go to for help. He can recommend which facility would best meet your needs.”

Carolyn Washington

“Rod was wonderful we saw a few places for my mom and moved her out of a place that was not caring enough for her. She is now in Maplewood of Danbury. Mom is happy, cared for so much better and the staff are wonderful and on top of everything. That was one thing that was super important to me. Great team. Thank you.”

Lenore Cirulli

“I highly recommend Assisted Living Advisers and Rod Oshins in particular. My family was faced with having to find the right assisted living facility for our mom in a 2-3 week window. Rod guided us through the process and found the perfect placement. Not know where to start, Rod asked the right questions, handled every appointment, went with us, made mom feel safe and comfortable, and continues to check in with us to make sure she is ok. My family would not have survived this ordeal without the incredible assistance we received. Mom has adjusted well and is proud of where she lives. I cannot give a higher recommendation. Only use this company (and Rod if he is available) if you need to find a place for a loved one to still live happily and safely in those golden years.”

Sarina McGough Choi

“Eric Leopold led us through the process of finding a memory care facility for our friend who is experiencing early onset dementia. He helped us find places, decide on the best fit and checked in while we were going through the application process. We appreciate his help in finding a place where we know our friend will be taken very good care of.”

Kara Lesondak

“After calling Eric Leopold, I got an immediate response from Rod Oshins. Rod was committed, attentive, fun, knowledgeable, compassionate, and perfect for this type of work. He actually visited my mom in rehab to help us identify her needs. The place we chose was perfect for mom. Now she’s thriving- Thanks to Rod!”

Nanci Kalbfell

“Eric and Rod were both very helpful in providing our family a great education on the senior-living options in the NYC / Fairfield County, CT markets. They also ultimately assisted and helped us find the right senior living community for my mother-in-law.”

Chris Bene

“Eric was a great help to me in this difficult time. He was very attentive and responsive and I found him indispensable in helping me find the right facility. He came up with a short list of possible options and assisted me with visiting the locations and making my final decision. I absolutely recommend him to families looking for the right place for their loved one.”

Maya Naunton

“Eric was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all of the options available to our family. He was responsive and able to answer all of our questions and continued to follow up even after my dad moved into assisted living.”

Karen Soren

“Rod was amazing! Very thoughtful, kind and helpful as we navigated the process of finding the right place for my aunt who needed more care and support. Rod is well versed on finding the right fit and my aunt is now very happy living in a terrific assisted living facility for her needs and personality. Thank you Rod!”

Laurel Elzinga

“Swimming in the waters of elder care is a daunting and stressful experience. Once Eric got involved with the process, it all went so much more smoothly. His continued check-ins on both status and process were extremely valuable to me and my family.”

Raoul Ollman

“My sister and I knew our parents needed help but had no idea where to start. Our adviser Rod was knowledgeable and talked us through our different options. When it came time to visit facilities, his relationships with staff and even residents made things that much smoother. It’s clear that he cares about finding the right fit for our family/needs.”

Evan Page

“Eric was very knowledgeable about all of the assisted living facilities. He listened to our needs and understood our situation and was able to help us narrow down the places that would be a better fit for our family. This really helped tremendously as it was all incredibly overwhelming before we found Eric. He was very hands on and communicative and helpful all along the way. I would definitely recommend his services to help navigate through this.”

Kate Wesselmann

“Rod was a great help to us in this difficult time of seeking a quality and compassionate assisted living facility for my mom. We found Assisted Living Advisers through my brother whose friend from high school had used them to find a place for his mom. They researched facilities in our area, made the initial contact and arranged the appointment for us. They are compassionate and professional and I highly recommend them.”

Christel Autuori
