About Beau Herman and David Hopkins

At Assisted Living Locators, we believe no one should face senior care decisions alone. That belief unites Beau Herman and David Hopkins, owners of Assisted Living Locators of Central Florida. Together, they serve families across the region with empathy, experience, and expert guidance—at no cost. Beau’s journey began with a personal family crisis involving his wife, Mercer’s grandmother. After watching a loved one struggle through the transition from independent living to assisted care, they knew families deserved better support, compassionate, informed, and free of financial burden. That calling led them to Assisted Living Locators. Beau holds a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) designation and brings a strong educational background, including:

B.S. in Hospitality Management – University of Mississippi
M.S. in Library and Information Organization – Florida State University
MBA – Rollins College

David brings over 20 years of healthcare experience, including 10 years as an Executive Director in senior living communities. His leadership is shaped by personal caregiving—having walked alongside five family members through hospital stays, assisted living, long-term care, dementia care, hospice, and end-of-life decisions. In addition to being a Certified Dementia Practitioner, David is a former leader with The Walt Disney Company, where he honed his commitment to excellence, service, and personal connection. He leads with faith and believes that every step in the senior care journey deserves dignity, love, and support. David and his wife Alison have been married for 25 years and are proud parents to two children, Nick and Cate. He’s also the devoted dog dad and chief walker of Tango and Marty. “We are all on a journey; you do not have to go it alone.”

Serving You with Purpose and Heart. Whether you’re just starting to explore care options or facing an urgent decision, Beau, Mercer, and David are here to help. Their combined knowledge and personal passion ensure that every family they serve is treated with respect, clarity, and care.

It is difficult to put into words how grateful we are to Beau for his guidance during the challenging journey of finding the right assisted living community for my mom. From arranging tours to providing valuable resources and support, he made an overwhelming process so much easier. Beau handled every detail with professionalism and compassion, and his communication style was perfectly suited to my needs as a full-time working mother. His knowledge, patience, and dedication gave us peace of mind during a very stressful time. We truly could not have navigated this process without him, and we are incredibly thankful for all of his help.

I cannot recommend David highly enough. Finding the right assisted living facility for my parents was one of the most difficult and emotional challenges our family has faced, and David's guidance was absolutely invaluable. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely cares about the families he helps. Not only did he direct us to a wonderful facility that has been an excellent fit for my parents, but he also helped us understand which facilities and situations to avoid—insight that would have been nearly impossible to gain on our own. Looking back, I only wish we had found David at the beginning of our search. He saved us countless hours of stress, uncertainty, and frustration, and gave us confidence that we were making the right decision for our parents' care. I would not hesitate to recommend David to friends and family, and I have already referred him to my doctor. The service he provides is truly invaluable, and anyone navigating the difficult process of finding care for a loved one would be fortunate to have him by their side.

Beau Herman and Mercer were fantastic! We were shown several Assisted Living facilities in the area we chose and received detailed information about all of them. When we chose one, Beau was right there working with us until my husband’s father moved in! Everything went so smoothly! We will recommend this agency to everyone!! Thanks again Beau and Mercer!!

In the middle of chaos & a crisis, it is helpful for someone to say. "I can help you." That is what Assistant Living Locators do. I have used them twice. Both times I have been satisfied. Twenty years ago a social worker at a hospital handed me a list of 100 facilities with no direction. There are 165+ facilities in Central FL. Half are in private homes. It just makes sense that you need knowledge & guidance to make such an important decision.

Recently I needed help identifying some ALF's for my mother. I worked with Assisted Living Locators, specifically Beau Herman. He did a great job of finding quality facilities for us to visit. His responses were prompt and professional. I highly recommend utilizing this company and Beau if you're in search of any ALF's. Thank you for your excellent service Beau.

Beau Herman was an outstanding source of support at a time that we needed it the most with an older family member that had a brain injury that turned into full on dementia. Our family member had been living independently prior to the injury so it came as a shock to our family when it turned into dementia. Beau Has extensive relationships in the Central Florida region and provided us with several options that we didn't even know we had in a tough situation. Beau is now a trusted resource that I will definitely share his knowledge and compassion with my circle of friends and family.

Having help from someone who knows the Assisted Living industry and specific facilities in our area was invaluable. Beau is insightful and kind, and he provided good advise to get the best possible care for our dad. The information he provided saved us a lot of time by narrowing down to facilities with openings that met our needs.

I have known David Hopkins in the senior living industry for over 15 years and have had the pleasure of working with him in multiple capacities—both in a community setting and now through his placement agency, Assisted Living Locators. David is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely compassionate. What truly sets David apart is that he understands the journey his clients and families are on because he has walked it himself with multiple family members. That personal experience, combined with his deep industry expertise, allows him to guide families with empathy, clarity, and confidence. If you are looking to place a loved one, client, patient, or resident, I wholeheartedly recommend David. You will be in capable, caring hands.
