About Us

Kathy Thompson, a business graduate from the University of Pittsburgh and an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University, is the owner of Senior Care Authority for the Pittsburgh area of Allegheny and Westmoreland counties. She became a Certified Senior Advisor to help families and seniors navigate the broad, confusing, and stressful decisions regarding senior living and care options. From her mother’s fight with cancer, she has learned that life can change instantly. Her mission is to help these families get the necessary resources and information they need to make the best educated decision for their loved ones.

Before her mother’s illness, Kathy had never heard of a “Senior Care Advisor”, however with a generation of Baby Boomers aging rapidly, families need to know where to turn to receive personalized assistance in locating the best senior living and care options. Usually she matches a senior living community with the seniors’ needed level of care, their budget, and location. However she can also direct the family to many other senior resources depending on their needs. For placement, Kathy’s service is free, except for skilled nursing. She enjoys helping the family save time and money, while reducing their stress. Everyone wants to make the best decision for their parents, but they aren’t sure where to turn. Kathy can be that resource.
