Senior Care Advisor

Tim joined Senior Care Authority® in 2023 to launch their first location in Massachusetts. Previously, he spent 20 years in the executive search field, founding two successful boutique recruiting firms and placing hundreds of senior-level professionals in a variety of roles with companies throughout the Northeast.

Shortly after the daunting experience of navigating senior care and assisted living options for his dad, Tim decided to combine his expertise in placement with a dedication to helping families and their aging loved ones. He has a deep appreciation for how concierge-type services can support families dealing with complex and stressful circumstances.

Tim lives in Arlington, MA, with his wife and two children. When he’s not helping families, he is probably attending one of his son’s baseball games or daughter’s theater performances, running, or avidly cheering on the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins.

Senior Care Advisor visiting and going over information with senior clients

Your Advisor will meet with you in person to discuss your options and then accompany you on visits to places that meet your criteria. We ensure that all your questions are answered, and assist with paperwork and negotiations. The hallmark of our service commitment is that we are by your side every step of the way.

We are paid a referral fee by the communities and care homes so there is no cost to you for our placement services. In the rare case where we are not contracted with a community, your Advisor will let you know at the outset and explain any fees that might be incurred, should you choose that location. You can expect total transparency from us and we respect your right to choose.

Company History

Senior Care Authority

Senior Care Authority® was founded in 2009 by Frank and Michele Samson of Sonoma, California. They opened a local placement agency and learned everything there was to know about finding the right care situation for an older adult needing help with activities of daily living. They came to the Senior Care space with successful business development skills in their past as well as personal family experience finding care solutions. The business took off, primarily due to their diligence, compassion, and commitment to helping families.
