CarePatrol is a free senior housing placement service that helps families find independent living, assisted living, memory care, and in-home care options. CarePatrol is not an assisted living facility or direct housing or care provider.

CarePatrol assesses client’s care level needs, financial needs and general preferred locations to recommend the best and safest care options.

CarePatrol’s nationally certified senior care advisors review each community’s care history and state violations in order to recommend the safest options for assisted living for seniors.

CarePatrol can also help veterans and their spouses get aid and funding for assisted living and memory care. Clients who are veterans may be eligible for Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance benefits.

Though CarePatrol‘s office is located in Auburn, CarePatrol serves seniors all over Placer County and can travel to a location convenient for the senior being served.
