About Us

After 30 years of owning and operating restaurants in locations from Niagara Falls to the Virgin Islands, a family medical emergency brought me back to care for my parents at their home in Buffalo. When my mother passed, my father began a slow decline physically with one major event leading to the need to place him into assisted living. Like most people facing this challenge, I did not know how to navigate the older adult care environment. I called an eldercare consultant. This person made the process so much easier and allowed me to have the information necessary to make the best decision for my father and the family. An eventual move to Knoxville led to the realization that I didn’t have it in me to return to hospitality. With the aid of a franchise consultant, serendipitous timing and the level of knowledge and passion observed from other franchisees and company ownership, I decided to open a Senior Care Authority franchise in Knoxville. Opening the business required months of rigorous training, including two required national recognized certifications- Certified Senior Advisor and Certified Dementia Practitioner. I am also a member of NPRA, the National Placement and Referral Alliance.

I am looking forward to years ahead of helping families navigate the most difficult process of finding help for their older loved ones.
