Finding the right community for seniors as they age is crucial for their overall well-being and quality of life. As people age, their needs change, and they may require more assistance with daily activities (ADLs) or medical care. Finding the right living arrangement can help seniors stay independent, healthy, and happy while ensuring their safety and security. At Assisted Living Locators of Long Island we will help you balance all of the important selection criteria. For many past clients these considerations have included location (close to friends and family), care offered, cuisine, cost, apartment types and environment, religious observances, and other factors. Importantly, we help families consider the support their loved ones might need up to 24 months AFTER placement. We use this 24 Month Planning Process to help families select communities that will be able to expand care in the future, resulting in a higher likelihood of Aging in Place for the senior.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mike and the top-notch service that he provides. He made what I consider a daunting process so much less stressful. He toured several assisted living/memory care facilities with me and my brother until we found the perfect fit for my dad. Having gone through a similar journey with his own mom, Mike taught us what to look for and what to stay away from based upon his own personal experience. Mike asked questions at each facility that he knew the answers to, but he asked for my benefit. He is extremely knowledgeable and always reachable to provide guidance and expertise. He was mindful of our budget and explained the advantages and disadvantages of different facilities. There were communities closer in proximity that I insisted on touring. Because we had extra time, Mike convinced me to look at another and guess what? It is the place we chose for Dad! Mike's professionalism, warmth and commitment put us at ease throughout the entire process. His service and efforts far exceeded our expectations and we are beyond grateful to him. While I am confident that we made the right decision for Dad, I also know that we couldn't have done it without Mike. Ronan Hickey2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My father in-law luckily met Mike McClernon at an event at the Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center. I later followed up with Mike to get some information but initially didn’t engage his services as we tried to keep my mother in-law at home. As our situation changed I reached out to Mike again and he organized a tour at a facility we loved. Mike listened to our evolving needs, provided keen insights and was a true partner throughout the difficult process and decision of what was the best way to care for my mother in-law and meet her needs. At no point did we feel pressure to make a decision. Mike’s empathy and patience is much appreciated and we hope other families can avail of his guidance as they seek the best outcome for their love one.
