MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER & CEO

People have always approached me and said numerous times that they do not know where to go to find the best senior care information for themselves or their loved one. They do not know who they can trust, what are the best options, or where they can go so all of the information is easy to understand.

We created La Dolce Living for the primary purpose of addressing these concerns and giving you the best solutions available anywhere. Our foundation and core values ensure that we not only give you THE BEST information, but we provide it in the simplest manner possible.

We always Listen and thrive to constantly improve. This is your Website. Please give us any feedback in the "Contact Us Anytime" Section so that we may enhance your experience every time. Also, please let your family and friends know about us in the "Tell a Friend" Link found at the top of every page. We have a very strict Privacy Policy and no one will EVER be "spammed" with email.

Truly,

Erwin T. Allado, CEO

After his tenure at PeopleSupport, Erwin consulted directly for the CEO of Linksys (NASDAQ: CSCO) and was key in the build out of their customer care center in Asia. Erwin then returned to California where he switched careers in search of challenging himself and learning a completely different side of business. Erwin joined Beverly Hills Financial Group, a premier brokerage firm providing financing for major entertainment and sport celebrities. As Vice President, Erwin built his business from the ground up and achieved numerous accolades such as “Highest Gross Sales Revenue since 2000,” “Top Sales Producer” and “Hardest Worker” awards all in the same year.
