Pop the champagne; launch the fireworks. It’s Care Placement’s 25th Anniversary! That’s right, as of April 1, 2025, we have officially been in business for 25 years. That means our car insurance rates will finally go down, right? Jokes aside, we are proud of what we have accomplished as a local SoCal business over the last quarter of a century, and we want to share a bit about ourselves with you.
We have helped…
Over 15,000 families
find a new home for their loved one(s).
We have employed…
Over 65 employees
16 of which are active employees at this time.
We have relationships with…
Over 1300 communities
which allows us to connect families to homes that actually match their needs.
Bitter Company Rivalry
As a company that primarily offers services in the Orange County and San Diego areas, every spring our group chats fill with gifs, trash talk, and even poetry all on one divisive subject: Padres or Dodgers? We have employees on both sides of the debate, but at the end of the day, we all agree on one thing: baseball is great.
Like last year when Care Placement helped sponsor Alzheimer’s Awareness Night at the Padres v Astros game, our staff had a great time while supporting a cure.

Sayra D. (top center), not from CA, but still #DodgerForLife
Holly O. (top right), the rare neutral party who loves the playoffs but will cheer for either team
The Care Placement Pets
We are a company of pet lovers. Several of our employees have beloved fur babies, and we would love to introduce them to you.
25 Years of Great Service
We would like to take a moment to thank all of our wonderful partners at communities and hospitals, as well as the families who make our business a success. Thank you for celebrating Care Placement’s 25th anniversary with us. Here’s looking forward to another quarter century!
We work hard to provide families with great service and satisfying results. Searching for a senior care home can be an incredibly challenging time in life for families. Over the last 25 years, we have stood out from the competition with our compassion and personal touch. While some of us may embrace new technology, we remember its place: a tool that helps us better serve you. We will never sacrifice the humanity of the situation for the convenience of technology. And that difference can be felt by our clients. See what they’ve got to say about us.

David Cowart was super helpful. He called various times over the last few months. He was never pushy. Always encouraging. My mom was in the hospital, 2 rehabs, and then hospital again- … More a 5 month journey of many ups and downs. Just when we thought she was ready to leave, and David would connect w us again, she would fall or experience a new medical issue.
As of this week, she is peacefully resting in a board and care.
Thanks to David for his patience with me and his helpful words! -

If you have an aging parent go with them. You will not be disappointed at all. -

Hello & Thank you!!
Care Placement came in a time when we needed help the most! We his 3 daughters cared for our Dad in his Riverside home since 2015. We had to move him to San … More Diego, CA 2019. He is 86 years old now, he lived with me his 3rd daughter and her family for over 3 years, but his Dementia Diagnoses was getting progressively worse by the day. I was referred to Ken Mortenson in February 2022 with only a few months to work within. Ken and his team worked with me endlessly until we found a beautiful, well organized and complete memory care facility for our Dad in June 2022. Ken was so knowledgeable, he was honest, patient and straight forward. He gave me understanding, resources, and support that was close to family. Dad is doing well, eating good food, walking, exercising, playing board games and listening to good music daily and taking life easy day by day. We visit with Dad weekly and he is happy to see his daughters when we arrive! Ken's Placement Team call asking about Dad's progress every 4 to 6 months. It's always a warm and welcomed phone call. We are so thankful for the continued support we receive and we recommend Care Placement to all those in need. Thank you again and again! Sincerely, The Hickman Girls! -

As someone who worked in a skilled nursing facility, I highly recommend David Cowart for care placement. Any time a patient or family member required resources for alternative placement … More I would simply give them David’s contact information and he was more than eager to help. If you’re looking for an assisted living facility, independent living facility, or a board & care, David will work with you and your preferences to make the transition as smooth as possible. He is professional, compassionate, competent and has provided nothing but support to those around him. It has been a great pleasure working David and with the Care Placement team. 🙂 -

My Mom has been in a large facility for dementia since 2019. Recently had to make a financial decision and move her to a board and care. 5 minutes after filling out an online request … More for information David was calling. Soon after that I had a list of potential locations to tour. I was very impressed! David and Shauna both have been very attentive to make sure my BB mom gets the care she needs as well as helping me navigate through it as well. I could not be more pleased with them both! Based on a smile I don’t see often I would say my mom agrees! David , Shauna. Thank you! -

I discovered Care Placement from a friend who had found them about two years ago and was very impressed with the care option in a house environment that’s among the resources they search … More for throughout San Diego. I spoke with David, who was very responsive, warm, and informative. When I asked for clarification about his use of the term “hospice care” for a context outside of an end-of-life situation, he referred me to their hospice-related specialist, who confirmed that the term can be used for at-home care that isn’t necessarily end of life/palliative care but is performed by a hospice agency. It helped me to get clear on this option. I wasn’t able to give all the medical info David was asking (due to tricky family stuff) in order for David to run a search of possible facility or agency options but maybe I will be someday, or circumstances may change. I’m glad that, even though we aren’t at the point of picking a UC Care option at the moment, David has continued to be his gracious self by offering to later pick things up where we left off. -

I wholeheartedly recommend Care Placement to help you find the right home for your loved one. A close friend of mine who is very active in the Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s caregiver … More community told me about Micheal Ortman and Care Placement. From the moment I first spoke to Michael, I was impressed by his professionalism, his knowledge, and above all, his compassion. He was thorough and respectful in his questions to me about our needs. His comments were very insightful. I could tell he’d walked down this road many times with other clients. I took my time – over six months – because I wanted to be prepared when the time came to place my husband. He was patient throughout the search process. Never rushed me to make a decision. After our initial conversation, his assistant sent me a comprehensive list of memory care facilities that met my criteria. The list included enough basic information for me to identity a subset of the group to call, and from there to arrange tours as I narrowed down my search. Michael assured me that there were other options, perhaps not as close by, and that we could broaden the search if I wasn’t satisfied after my site visits. During my search, he called or texted, making sure that any questions or concerns I might have were being addressed. His understanding of this difficult decision was invaluable. When I did choose a place, he and his assistant were in close contact to ensure the process went smoothly. Even after my husband moved in, they called to make sure I was doing well and followed up later to find out how my husband and I were adjusting. I am comfortable that I made the right decision – and Michael and his team were absolutely key to finding the right place – and my peace of mind! -

After years of trying to get my Mother-in-law into assisted living, it wasn't until I was referred to Michael Ortman at Care Placement by Sharp Memorial Hospital that we were able … More to make it happen. Michael asked some questions, came up with a list of 3-4 that he knew were rated well for their services in the area we wanted. He and his assistant still keep in contact so that they can be sure they are recommending agencies that maintain their standards. They educated me on the senior state and how it works. Don't get me wrong, moving a loved one into an assisted living home is still difficult in a myriad of ways, but without Michael and Holly, it would have been much more so. Thank you so very much. -
