Our Compassionate Team
Belinda Battistelli
Eldercare Advisor
Belinda has advocated for seniors and their families since 2006, ensuring they receive the care, respect, and dignity they deserve. Her work blends honesty, empathy, and thoughtful planning to reduce disparities in senior care.
She earned a Management degree from the University of La Verne and builds care plans by understanding both the medical system and the human side of aging. Belinda meets with families to evaluate finances, medical needs, and living arrangements, then matches each person with the right solution.
Since 2008, she has served on the Visiting Nurses Hospice Board and maintains strong partnerships with assisted living communities, RCFE homes, home care agencies, and skilled nursing facilities through her work with Senior Network groups.
At ElderCalifornia, she specializes in dementia care, assisted living placements, and hospice and palliative care guidance. From coordinating hospital discharges to navigating tough decisions, Belinda is a steady ally for families seeking compassionate, trustworthy care.
Leslie Coulson
Founder and Eldercare Advisor
As the founder of ElderCalifornia, Leslie saw how overwhelming elder care decisions can be for families. She built ElderCalifornia to be the trusted guide she wished her own family had — offering comprehensive, hands-on support for every step of the journey.
From senior placement and care coordination to Medi-Cal planning and financial safeguards, we tailor solutions to each family’s unique needs, values, and goals.
A Holistic Approach to Care
We believe great care plans start with the full picture. That means understanding medical diagnoses, anticipating future care needs, reviewing financial and estate plans, and honoring emotional well-being. When we know the whole story, we can build a plan that truly fits.
Guidance Rooted in Experience
Leslie has lived this journey herself. Caring for a loved one gave her firsthand insight into the stress, urgency, and confusion families face — especially when a crisis hits. That experience shapes our compassionate, no-nonsense approach: address what’s urgent now, while building stability for the long term.
With expertise in elder care resources, Medi-Cal, and financial planning, Leslie and her team equip families with clear information and real solutions — and we don’t stop at advice. We help implement the plan, so you feel supported, prepared, and confident in every decision
