I listen to your family’s situation, then match you with the right assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing community in Central Texas.

As your placement advocate, I can help you understand which communities in Travis, Williamson, Hays, and Bastrop Counties accept Medicaid, and connect you with a Medicaid planning specialist if you need more guidance.

I am an Army veteran, a published author of three books on senior care, and a bilingual (English/Spanish) placement advocate with personal experience caring for a family member with dementia. I am not a large call center. I am one person who shows up, tours communities with you, and stays with your family through the entire process. I specialize in complex situations: VA benefits, long-term care insurance, Medicaid planning, and memory care transitions. See my full Resource Directory
