Feedback From The Families

Jay G.

I’m pleased to recommend Michael Belles for senior placement services. I’ve worked under Michael for the past four years at a major automotive supplier, where his leadership, attention to detail, and personable nature consistently stood out. With a background in engineering, foster care, and healthcare, Michael brings a unique blend of compassion and professionalism to his work. His recent personal experiences—caring for his elderly mother and navigating the loss of a beloved aunt—have only deepened his empathy and commitment to helping families find the right assisted living solutions. Michael is patient, persuasive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of others. You can trust him to guide you with care and integrity.

Todd F.

Mike exemplifies two important qualities: 1) Sense of Urgency and 2) Teamwork. 1) I’ve seen him dive deep into work that is out of his scope to help the team succeed. He took the task, moved fast and came back with results. 2) He has a unique ability to blend customer and internal teams with a wide breadth of knowledge and the willingness to share it to help the project. He is respected for his positive attitude and keeping his commitments.

MaryJane D.

I have worked with Michael for over 12 years. He has always been very thorough & supportive-listens to his customer's wants & needs, verifies details, follow-through to make sure all open points are closed, and checks back after completion to make sure the customer is satisfied with the results. He works quickly to support his customers and communicates progress regularly. If there are other options/potential solutions, he brings them to his customer for review and input-never changing the plan without alignment. For these professional reasons, along with Michael's cheerful and caring personality, I have always enjoyed working with him.
