What Our Clients Say

Finding a place that has an opening is a small part in a very large, complicated puzzle when it comes to moving your loved one into a new care setting. Medicaid? Adult community foster care home? Care home? Skilled Nursing? Residential Care home? Where to begin?! I trust Rose when it comes to finding the right fit in the right setting for a client. There is SO MUCH MORE involved than finding a place that has an open bed. How much experience does the caregiver have? Do they have the right staffing available to provide safe, appropriate care? Have they taken care of complex or difficult clients before? Do they CARE about the clients that they serve? Are they licensed appropriately? Do they have a lot of complaints? Has the Department of Health cited them lately? Moving a loved one is a very stressful experience, and it takes A LOT of expertise to do it right the first time. Especially with clients that have dementia. I trust Rose to do a the right thing and would trust her to place my loved one. She takes the process seriously and is even more thorough than I am. She has a more extensive network of care providers than any of the other agencies in this field. For Rose, its not just a job, its a calling. She is very good at what she does. Trust Rose to do it right - I would!!! Mike Meyer, certified RN Case Manager - Oahu.

Finding a Care home for my mother 93 yrs old and with Dementia Alzheimer’s disease has been very hard. Several care homes (4) have let her go because of her level of agitation and unable to adapt to new environments. The constant moving/visiting different care homes was tasking and frustrating. With Elite Carfinders - Rose Gallego assist, we've been able to find a Care Home that's able/willing to address her care needs and handle her behavior issues. Every day is different. The selected care home has provided the care support, patience, safety, understanding my mom needs and addressed my family's concerns. Rose Gallego: Mahalo for your time and assistance. Not only understanding my mom's needs (Dementia Alzheimer’s disease) but all the follow up support.

"My father has Alzheimer's/dementia, and I recently had to place him in a care home. This decision was incredibly difficult but ultimately necessary, as we were unable to provide the level of care he needed. His current situation placed his health at risk, and we felt compelled to make the move, but we were unsure where to begin or whom to contact. My niece took to Google, and that's when we discovered Elite CareFinders. We left a message and crossed our fingers, hoping for a response. Soon enough, the phone rang, and on the other end was Rose. She enlightened us about her services and provided invaluable information about senior care that we had not known. Rose assured us that she would search for quality care homes and get back to us – which she promptly did. Before we knew it, we were on our way to visit our first care home and meet with the caregiver. Armed with the information Rose had given us, we felt more confident in our search and understanding of what to look for. Though we hadn't met Rose in person at this point, she tirelessly worked day and night to help us. She moved mountains for people she didn't even know, pouring her heart into our search. Finally, we met Rose in person, and it was wonderful to put a face to the angel who had gone above and beyond for us. Life is never without its challenges, and we encountered a few along the way. However, Rose remained unwavering in her determination and ensured that we didn't lose hope. Rose accompanied us to three care homes - one of which was a potential care home for my dad. After meeting with them and discussing the details, we realized that this was the right fit. Not only were the caregivers willing to make it affordable, but they also promised to provide a forever home for my dad, all thanks to Rose and her company. We believe that God guided us to Rose because she possesses a humble and beautiful soul. My family and I will forever be grateful for her kindness and dedication. People like Rose, and the work she does, often go unnoticed. I want to share with the world what an incredible person she is and let everyone know that she's here to help.

DON’T WAIT ANY LONGER! I had been caring for my husband with Alzheimer’s for more than five years and it finally was affecting my physical health and mental wellbeing. I am so happy that I was referred to Elite Carefinders and was expertly and kindly helped by Rose Gallego. She is a master of finding the right place for your loved one and budget. Knowing too well the stress of caring for someone with dementia and the toll it takes on the caregiver, I again urge you to contact Rose!

Rose is very personable and very professional. We were in a crunch to find a care home for my mother. She requires a higher level of care. The care home that I picked is wonderful. Rose held my hand every step of the way. She did all of the paperwork. On the day of admission, she showed up with gifts. Rose has continued to follow up with me to be sure that mom's transitioning OK.

We are forever grateful to Rose from Elite Carefinders for patiently and expertly guiding us in our quest for the right foster home for our dad. We certainly could never have done this ourselves! Because of her, our dad was placed in a lovely home, being cared for by a competent and compassionate caregiver, and being surrounded by a loving family. Placing our 90-year-old dad in a foster home was an emotional decision as well as a rigorous journey for our family. We have heard of residents being moved from a care/foster home to another because it was not the “right fit” or at worst, it was “horrible” experience to both the residents and their families. The health team referred us to contact Rose at Elite Carefinders which proved to be a great experience for our family. It was reassuring to know that Rose, being an RN by profession understood our dad’s level of care. She came for a home visit not only to meet my dad but also to do a thorough assessment of his care needs as well as our family’s expectations, she took the time to get to know our family, actively listened to our needs, concerns and what are the most important things we are looking for in a foster home. Her warmth and sincerity as well as her impressive knowledge about regulations and quality care further reassured us that Rose was the perfect person to help us find the “home away from home” for our dad. Rose worked tirelessly, visiting possible foster homes even on weekends. After personally screening the homes to make sure these are up to standard, she would send me pictures and all the important details. She never hesitated to take the opportunities to educate the caregiver/owner how to make their home environment better and safer. Rose patiently answered all my questions until I was satisfied, always encouraging me to be honest and “not settle”. When I was losing hope, she worked even harder and creatively negotiated a win-win agreement with the caregiver who turned out to be the “right fit” for our dad. Her foresight made this great outcome possible and we can’t thank her enough. Rose was there for our family right from the start, she was there with us during the big day of moving dad to the foster home bearing welcome gifts! And she was still there for us after the move, providing follow-up and support, reassuring us with kind words and offer of further help as needed. Rose is truly an exceptional advocate! Her passion for her work and compassion towards families searching for the right care/foster homes for their loved ones are qualities that truly serve our unique community here in Hawaii. Her goal for success to find the right home the first time sets her apart from others.

Rose Gallego with her incredible personality and compassion goes above and beyond the standard work ethics of other senior care agencies. She goes out of her way to ensure a higher level of care is afforded to her clients. My Mom is living proof of her tireless search for an appropriate care home. Rose communicates her wealth of knowledge in a way that is meaningful and understandable by the family. She sympathize/ empathize with the family which relieves anxiety and stress. Her follow-ups with the family after placement of their love one shows just how much she cares about the quality of life for her clients. Rose is heaven sent and a blessing to me and my family. Rose is efficient and amazing. Our family will forever be grateful for her exceptional and professional service.

Rose is absolutely incredible. I could always trust Rose to have my back. As far as placement goes, she’s your expert. And she knows paperwork related requirements off the top of her head like no one I’ve come across. She’s definitely not in the industry for the money or she’d be a billionaire. She takes so much of her unpaid time to take care of even service providers she works with. She takes pictures for care homes to ensure they highlight little details about their home that make it special. She educates caregivers on industry best practices and isn’t afraid to speak her mind in a collaborative manner when she sees something below standard of care or could be improved. And helps to find a plan of implementation. When work was less busy we would go on for hours on our own time brainstorming together how we could work together in offering a higher level of care and quality of life for our seniors. She is honest. When you ask her something whether the answer is good or bad, you’ll get a straightforward answer and solutions and optimistic outlook that never fails to shine. Rose goes above and beyond and the name Elite is truly reserved for Rose. She will advocate and fight for her clients best interests. I’ve seen it through multiple clients we served alongside each other. As long as I’ve known her, she is always looking to learn more about every corner of her industry and every aspect her families may need and then some more. I love Rose and her incredible personality and Elite standard work ethic and I’m sure you all will too.

A warm aloha to Rose Gallego who had expertly and professionally assisted me with finding the best care home for my mother. She handled every aspect of the search and selection of a home including the transfer and health forms. Most of all, Rose is not only a caring professional she is a genuinely compassionate person. She is a detailed person who sincerely wants a perfect match. “Going beyond to find the care your loved one deserves” is truly what she does! Mahalo nui loa🌺

I don’t know what I would have done without Rose’s help in finding a care home for my husband . She is extremely knowledgeable and efficient in cutting through all the paperwork and contacts needed in finding the right home. I didn’t know where to start and Rose cut through all the resources and found us a good home in less than 2 weeks. I am extremely grateful for all of Rose’s help support and hard work. She is wonderful.

After my aunt's assisting living facility unexpectedly informed me they could no longer provide care, I had one week to find a new placement. I contacted Elite CareFinders and spoke with Rose. I explained my aunt's situation, and she immediately started the search for an appropriate placement. The short time frame was challenging, but Rose made it work. She quickly found an excellent adult residential care home and successfully expedited the process. I'm not sure what I would have done without her help. Rose was patient, very communicative, and walked me through all the steps. I highly recommend Elite CareFinders.

The beginning of February I wanted to relocate my husband with dementia/alzheimer and behavior problems from his former care home to another care home. My goal was for him to be in a new care home by March 1st. I was told no one will take him and I couldn’t do it in such a short time. I tried a social worker to help me, he was no help. I frantically looked on the internet to find a place for him, I was told either they had no opening or my husband needed a smaller facility with special care. I didn’t know there was different type of care home for different needs. How can I find a home for him in less than two weeks. I prayed to the Lord for help because time was running out and I felt my back was against the wall. What if I cannot find a care home for him, what do I do, I cannot care for him. Around February 20th, I was told to call Rose, she can help me. Desperate I called Rose, my "Knight in Shining Armor" (an angel on earth). Rose assured me my husband will be at a new care home by March 1st. Rose is so knowledgeable about the different care homes and case managers, she gave me homes to visit, I found one on February 24th, Rose did all the paper work and on March 1st, my husband was in a new care home. Rose is amazing, I believe the Lord brought Rose into my life when I had nowhere to turn. Rose told me the day I called her, my husbands new caregiver called to tell her she have an opening. God Bless You, Rose. Thank you for all your hard work in helping me. Diane
