About Us

Marcy is a veteran of the complex and anxiety-riddled process of senior care decisions. Her “bootcamp” was her experience navigating the rough waters of caring for her own mother and father. As she helped manage the care of one parent living with Alzheimer’s Disease and the other dealing with multiple physical ailments, it was obvious that her choices in advisors or advocates were scarce.

Marcy studied Healthcare Navigation at Sonoma State University and in 2011 launched her private practice as an Eldercare Consultant. She continues to be to use her experience and training to be an advocate for families and to simplify their decision-making process. Marcy has served hundreds of families over the past decade by providing them with compassion, empathy, and education. Her book, Assisted Living, Questions I Wish I Had Asked has helped families all over the country learn how to think about the transition to residential care.

As a support group facilitator for the Alzheimer’s Association, she is grateful for the opportunity to use her education, facilitation skills, personal experience, and knowledge of available resources to assist people with ongoing family caregiver challenges.

In the moments when she isn’t working with families, Marcy pursues her love of writing, is a certified yoga instructor, studies Ayurvedic medicine, is trying to learn to speak Spanish, and is dedicated to animal rescue. Most importantly, she loves spending time with her husband, two dogs, family, and friends.
