The legacy that Angela Olea aspires to create within the senior care industry is deeply rooted in transformative impact and innovation. As the founder of Assisted Living Locators, she has dedicated her career to elevating the standard of care for seniors.
“My goal has always been to provide unmatched personal service and guidance, leading to our distinction as the first nationwide senior placement service to achieve system certification,” said Olea. “I envision a legacy that not only celebrates these milestones but also my unwavering dedication to enhancing the lives of seniors through the right care solutions and compassionate service.”
Assisted Living Locators offers a no-cost, nationwide senior care placement and referral service for in-home companion care, independent retirement options, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities.
By instilling a culture of excellence and compassion within the organization, Olea, a Hall of Fame Titan 100 nominee, said she aims to set a benchmark for quality care and ethical leadership in the industry. “It is my hope that this legacy will inspire future generations to pursue the mission of compassionate care with the same fervor, ensuring that the well-being of seniors remains at the forefront of our collective efforts,” she said.
In the last two years, under Olea’s leadership, the organization has undergone a merger to amplify capabilities and has bolstered franchisee support, and offered enriched coaching, mentoring and resources. Another accomplishment is Assisted Living Locators’ partnership with One Tree Planted in celebration of its 20th anniversary. For every senior placed by their advisors, a tree will be planted, symbolizing a legacy of care extending to both seniors and the planet.
“This initiative not only involves tree planting but also provides families with a personalized certificate, underscoring the company’s dedication to nurturing life and supporting the environment,” said Olea. “This partnership reflects our approach to care, marrying senior welfare with environmental conservation and marking a significant step in our mission to offer comprehensive support to seniors and their families while contributing positively to global reforestation efforts.”
As a leader, Olea said her ambition has been to leave a mark through her dedication to enhance the lives of seniors. “By establishing high standards for service and leadership, my goal is to serve as a beacon for future generations and hope to influence a future where the senior care industry is synonymous with innovation, compassion, and unwavering quality, ensuring a better tomorrow for our aging population,” she said.
