Rachel Healy, CDP

Area Owner

Rachel Healy, CDP is an Eldercare Consultant and co-owner of Senior Care Authority of Greater Cincinnati. Rachel started her professional career in the hospital laboratory running medical tests in the hospital’s Chemistry Lab. From there, she moved into Customer Service for the hospital lab helping to
troubleshoot inefficiencies in laboratory systems. By providing better laboratory support for doctors and their staff, she helped to provide better outcomes for hospital patients.

Rachel’s passion for serving seniors started very early as two of her grandparents lived with her family as she grew up. That passion for serving others led her to move her parents from their home in Virginia to
Ohio in 2009 so that she could care for both of them. Rachel was the primary caregiver for her mother, who had Parkinson’s Disease, for the last six years of her life in her home.

Realizing how difficult caregiving is on the family, Mark and Rachel wanted to make a difference by using the knowledge and experience they had gained personally to help other families. Rachel is passionate about using her life experience, knowledge of the healthcare system and training as a consultant and advocate for the client families she and Mark serve. The caregiver journey is challenging. You don’t have to do this alone.

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.
