Hello! Thank you for your interest in Mindful Placement Assistance. I am Laura Ballantine. For over 20 years I have been actively working in the field of elder and memory care in San Diego. I started my journey as a caregiver in a facility that was just breaking ground in Fallbrook, CA. From there I went into home care where I was a caregiver to those who had the ability to stay in their homes but needed assistance in their daily lives and companionship. I then went on to work in a memory care facility starting as a caregiver and working my way up to floor supervisor in Encinitas, CA. I hired and trained caregivers and managed the day to day, working closely with various facility staff, families and medical professionals. I currently hold my certification as an administrator for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE). It would be my honor to utilize my experience to help guide you through the journey of finding an assisted living or memory care home for your loved one.
