Meet the Team

Harold Spitzfaden CSA, CDP, JD & CPA.

Area Owner

Harold Spitzfaden and his son Kyle are co-owners of the Senior Care Authority business operating in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and Westchester County, New York. Both come from diverse backgrounds and make an incredible team. Harold and Kyle chose Senior Care Authority, a nationwide enterprise, due to the caring attitude of the people in the organization. In addition, the training, systems, teamwork, and sharing of ideas among owners provides the basis for a “best in class” organization now and for the future. Harold is a Certified Senior Advisor, Attorney and CPA with extensive experience addressing the many challenges seniors encounter and an in-depth knowledge of various alternatives for senior living. He also has a broad background in business and an extensive education. He has held various leadership positions at both large public and private companies which required excellent listening skills to effectively problem solve. He utilizes this same process in assessing and determining solutions for the issues confronting seniors and their families and assisting them with their future life choices. Harold’s family experience was the genesis of wanting to assist seniors. His father had a long-term illness which resulted in ongoing challenges creating significant stress for his family. In addition, they were faced with various issues regarding the wellbeing and safety of his mother in her later years. Due to the fact no one in his family lived nearby, increased the demands of caring for his parents. Having an experienced senior advisor providing guidance would have been invaluable. As a result, he knew he would eventually address the enormous needs of seniors and make a difference in their life and families.

Kyle Spitzfaden

Area Owner

Kyle has in-depth knowledge and experience working with seniors and the communities in which they live, has a passion for providing service to the community and early in his career developed excellent management skills having worked in several organizations in a number of industries. Kyle holds a B.A. from Colgate University where he graduated with a degree in Peace and Conflict Studies. He has held multiple leadership roles in emergency medicine, a field in which he has been active for over twenty years. In addition, Kyle is an educator in the community teaching classes to the public in CPR, First Aid and the newer Stop the Bleed initiative. Kyle’s knowledge of the healthcare field and desire to help others is the perfect background to provide elder consulting and/or assist the senior and the family in determining the optimal community for the senior to reside. Harold and Kyle utilize a personal approach to address the needs of seniors. They initially meet with the senior and the family to conduct an assessment. Their objective is to determine the individuals physical and mental health needs, personality, interests and preferences. The information obtained is then utilized to provide elder consulting or determine an appropriate residence in which to live. If a community is necessary, appropriate senior living options are discussed, and the senior and the family will select several to visit. Harold and Kyle will then schedule meetings and tours which provide the basis for the senior and family to select the appropriate community. They will then coordinate the transition to the community. Harold and Kyle utilize their diverse backgrounds, personal approach and thorough knowledge of the challenges faced in one’s later years to address the problems confronting seniors and their families. Their objective is to eliminate anxiety and worry by proposing and implementing a solution with empathy. They will be by your side during this entire process and remain connected to ensure the loved one continues to be happy, healthy and safe.

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.
