Our Services

Welcome to Senior Care Authority ® in Greenville, Spartanburg, Asheville, North and South Carolina.
Whether you are looking to find an assisted living community or need support in navigating other care options, we can help. Our communication with you will be accessible and consistent. You do not need to do this alone!

FINDING SENIOR LIVING OPTIONS

Making the right care decision for your loved one can be a daunting task. There are so many options; the terminology is often unfamiliar and the terrain unknown. Senior Care Authority® of Greenville, Spartanburg, Asheville, North and South Carolina will streamline the process to make it easier for you to make informed choices and reduce the stress and pressure associated with such important decisions.

Our team of Certified Senior Advisors carefully inspects locations from mid-to-larger size communities as well as smaller, residential care homes. We meet the staff, residents, family members when possible. State reports are reviewed to advise you of any citations or complaints issued against a particular provider. We have comprehensive knowledge and experience with all facets of senior living, from Independent Living to Assisted Living, to Memory Care and Skilled Nursing.

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 choice.

ELDERCARE CONSULTING

Sometimes our families need help with challenging transitions, endless decision-making and navigating a complex healthcare system. This can include facilitating essential conversations between family members, locating a skilled nursing facility, home care agency or caregiver selection, long distance caregiving, finding the right resources and learning how to access them, or regular visits to your loved one, providing you with "peace of mind" when you are unable to visit.  

It can be comforting to have someone partner with you who is outside the emotional landscape of the family: doing research, talking to providers, organizing paperwork, or finding those "needle in a haystack" resources – a go-to person you can turn to when things get overwhelming. No care plan is cookie cutter. We customize our services for your family. We are your advocates on this often difficult journey and help you track the endless details.

There is no cost for an initial consultation. You and your Advisor can get to know each other and decide if working together is a good fit to meet your needs.

ADVOCACY

An advocate can be a good friend to have on your side, especially when things get complicated. When navigating the healthcare system, sometimes there is so much information being offered that it is nearly impossible to hold it alone and sort out what you have been told. As your advocate and coach, we do our best to ensure that everyone understands the information being dispensed and that your questions are answered appropriately.

FAMILY COACHING

A third party who is outside of the emotional landscape of the family during tough decision-making can be a great benefit. Each family has its own dynamic and a coach can help make sure everyone is heard and seen, and that everyone is treated fairly, even if you don’t all agree. Your coach can help your family find consensus or at least encourage everyone’s point of view to be voiced and listened to calmly. We are not therapists. We are trained to empower families to move forward with whatever process is most beneficial. Initial consultations are always offered at no charge.

Who Keeps the Keys?

Beyond Driving with Dignity

The Beyond Driving with Dignity training and certification program was designed to help senior drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminishing driving skills. Beyond Driving with Dignity helps an older driver with diminishing skills make a smooth transition from the driver's seat to the passenger seat. The program also ensures that the individual can maintain as much independence as possible.

"Linda spent time really understanding what our needs were and worked hard to find the right environment that met those needs. Whether it was the communities survey history, longevity of staff, activities, transportation, room layout or just the financial investment, Linda was so diligent in making sure we were making the best choice we could. We are convinced that Linda's involvement helped us find the best place for our loved one's care. I really don't know what we would have done if Linda hadn't been there to guide us along the way. We whole heartedly thank her and would highly recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation. She made the difficult bearable."

- P. Shaw

"I knew nothing about finding an assisted living facility for my dad before I met Linda. She was professional, knowledgeable, educational, and most importantly caring. We looked at 4 different places that all met the criteria. Together we selected the best one. Days after selection, my dad was informed he needed to move from his current skilled care facility to someplace else. Insurance said so. There are no family members within an 8 hour drive of my dad and Linda facilitated the move on her own. She even made arrangements for temporary furniture until family could return. Never in my adult life have I experienced such genuine care from a service provider. Linda is by far the best."

SCA in Greenville went beyond in such ways as meeting with my Mom for comfort, arranging for other care and even moving.

"My parents were set to move to one assisted living facility in Hendersonville, NC from New Jersey when the facility backend out at the last minute due to my 95 year old father's condition after we sent a deposit and ordered furniture and lifted all the paperwork. Linda Cale was fabulous and jumped into action from giving us recommendations for several other assisted living facilities and reaching out to them on our behalf. She was upfront with the facilities regrading my father's condition and with her help we settled on California Reserve where they are moving later this month in October. I don't know where we could be without her help. I would recommend Linda to anyone needing assistance when it comes to assisted living for a parent. Thank you Linda."

"I cannot recommend Linda enough for her assistance, guidance and consultation for our needs. We began with a discussion for a driving self-assessment for my husband. She was considerate and listened to his concerns but was honest about the risks and put his safety and the safety of others first. Understanding his background she speaks to him in a way that he feels respected, honored and treats him with the dignity he deserves. She brought him options of the companis for long term care that allows me resolve when I need it. He gets new people to share his stories with and I get to refresh, recharge and enjoy my time as well. Her support is giving us a way to move forward with confidence and know she will be there every step of our journey."
