About Us

Lisa Isbell is the owner of Senior Care Authority (SCA) of Central Virginia, and a frequent speaker on senior living and aging topics. She and her team have worked with countless families and older adults to help them navigate care and living needs since opening SCA in 2017.

Following a career in financial services and church administration, Lisa opened Senior Care Authority of Central Virginia after experiencing the transitioning care needs of her own parents. Knowing that finding the right care and living options for loved ones can be stressful and frustrating, Lisa and her team work patiently with families, educating them on the many options available in Central Virginia. Working with a wide range of experts and local resources, Lisa and her team help make the transition to care a smooth one for seniors and their families.

Lisa received her undergraduate degree from Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and her graduate degree from the University of Richmond. She is a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), as well as a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), and a Certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Trainer (CADDCT) with the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners. Lisa is an instructor with the Osher Institute at the University of Richmond, and serves as a Community Educator with the Alzheimer’s Association. She and her husband, Scott, have two adult children and a very social and playful Irish Doodle.

As the Community Outreach Specialist at Senior Care Authority, Lisette brings a wealth of experience cultivated over a decade in case management. Her previous roles at VCU Health, where she provided patient services, and a local non-profit, where she supported community clients, have given her invaluable insights into the challenges and nuances involved in care transitions. Lisette is keenly aware of the critical support social workers, case managers, and discharge planners provide in preparing families for a loved one’s discharge.

Driven by a strong commitment to connection, advocacy, and fostering meaningful relationships, Lisette thrives on making a positive impact. She brings care and compassion to those navigating enormous life changes.

Beyond her work, she dedicates her time to volunteering for community causes that support those in need. Lisette also finds joy and rejuvenation in her downtime with family, friends, her cats, and her Carolina dog.
