I have the privilege of working closely with Mary Zabian from Assisted Living Locators on a regular basis, and I can say without hesitation that she is exceptional at what she does. Placing a loved one in senior living is one of the hardest decisions a family can face, and Mary approaches every single case with genuine compassion, patience, and care. She takes the time to truly understand each family’s situation to find the correct fit for their loved one. Families are lucky to have her in their corner during such an emotional time. I highly recommend Mary and Assisted Living Locators to anyone navigating this journey!

What a great option! Mary was huge help and a real expert. She made the search process so much easier and had valuable advice from her vast experience. Thanks to Mary, our search lasted only a few days versus months due to her professional contacts and knowledge of the marketplace. She was fantastic to work with!

Finding a home for my parents was stressful to say the least. Both Mary and Steve showed a kindness that went way beyond a job. They were attentive and very patient with me. I had no idea what I was doing. They educated me every step of the way and act as my advocate when needed. They are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend their services.

Working with Mary has been such a steady source of support during one of the most emotional and complex times our family has faced. Moving our parents from their longtime home and property into senior living is not just a logistical decision for us, it is deeply personal. From the very beginning, she understood that our situation was unique and could not be approached as a one-size-fits-all solution. She has taken the time to truly learn who our parents are, what matters most to them, and what our family needs in order to feel confident in each step. She is sensitive to the emotional weight of this transition and approaches every conversation with compassion and patience. As our situation has evolved and become more complex, particularly with our parents needing different levels of care, she has adapted seamlessly. With one parent, we have made a decision and feel at peace with the path forward thanks in large part to her guidance. At the same time, she continues to work closely with us to determine the right next steps for the other. Her insight into how each community aligns with our specific priorities has been invaluable. She serves as a strong liaison with the facilities we are considering and joins us for onsite visits, asking thoughtful questions and helping us process what we are seeing. She is consistently available, responsive, and grounded, which brings a sense of calm to what could easily feel overwhelming. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance, advocacy, and steady presence, and we feel fortunate to continue working alongside her as we navigate what comes next for our family.
