“Five stars is not nearly enough.”

That line says what so many families and professionals feel after working with Lori. When situations are overwhelming, complex, and deeply personal, having someone who truly shows up makes all the difference.

We are grateful for the trust placed in Care Connect every day.

Two years ago, Care Connect was founded to change how families find senior care. No more cold, impersonal referral websites that spam you with phone calls. No algorithms telling you where to go.

We built something different, something based on real relationships, the power of a handshake, and human connection.

This is only the beginning. To every family who’s trusted us, thank you. To every senior we’ve helped, we’re honored to be part of your story. Here’s to another year of doing things the right way.

“That first conversation reassured me I had found the guidance we desperately needed.”

When everything feels urgent and uncertain, reassurance matters. Showing up quickly, listening closely, and guiding families with care is what makes the difference in moments like these.

The Biggest Mistake Families Make When Budgeting for Assisted Living
Most people focus on rent,but that’s only part of the cost.

✔ Care levels - Many communities charge extra for help with bathing, dressing, and mobility.
✔ Medication management - Giving out daily medications isn’t always included in base pricing.
✔ Community fees - Some places charge one-time “move-in fees” up to $10,000.

Before signing a contract, get a full breakdown of the monthly cost - not just what’s on the brochure.

One missed dose? No big deal . . . but when it keeps happening, it’s a warning sign.

Some seniors forget because of memory loss. Others skip doses on purpose - because of cost, confusion, or because they just don’t want to take them anymore. Either way, untreated conditions don’t stay small problems for long.

If you’re finding pills left in a container or hearing, “I don’t remember if I took it,” it's time we look at options with medication management built in.

The "just looking" stage doesn't exist in senior care.

When people shop for a car or a house, they “just look.” They browse, compare, and wait for the right moment.

Senior care doesn’t work that way. If you’re researching, it’s because something isn’t working. Maybe the house isn’t safe anymore. Maybe the falls are becoming more frequent. Maybe you already know deep down that a change is coming.

The best decisions aren’t made in a rush. If you’re thinking about senior care, you’re already in the process.

Let’s talk.

Want to know what a community is really like? Visit at night.

Daytime tours are full of friendly staff and happy residents. But nighttime shows the reality:

🌙 Are there enough caregivers, or just one for the whole floor?
🌙 Are residents calling for help and waiting too long?
🌙 Does the place still feel warm and welcoming, or just empty?

The best facilities look just as good at 8 PM as they do at noon. We will help you see for yourself.

Overnight nurses matter.

Some communities have a licensed nurse physically in the building overnight. Others rely on aides with an on-call nurse off-site.

That difference shows up at 2:00 a.m.

An on-site nurse can assess a change in condition, evaluate a fall, manage medications, monitor vitals, and decide when observation is appropriate versus when EMS is truly needed.

Without that clinical presence, the safest option often becomes the fastest one: send the resident out.

This is why two buildings with the same license can have very different ER transfer rates.

For discharges with higher acuity, dementia behaviors, fall risk, or fragile medical status, overnight nursing coverage can be the difference between stability and a preventable ER trip.

If overnight clinical coverage is critical for a patient, local insight can help match patients to buildings that truly support it.

Some seniors are paying full price for assisted living. Others are getting financial help through programs they found before they needed care.

Which group do you want to be in? If you’re not planning now, you might be paying more later.

We can help with that.

New year, new priorities.

If finding better care for your parent is on your mind, let’s make a plan before it’s an emergency.

At first, a few hours of home care a day is enough . . . then you add more . . . then overnight shifts . . . then round-the-clock care.

Suddenly, home care costs more than $27,000 a month.

Where do you draw the line?

Don’t wait until you’re drowning in costs to consider other options.

If your once kind and patient parent is suddenly irritable, aggressive, or withdrawn, something is off. Big changes in mood or personality are not just part of getting older. They could be a sign of something more serious, like:

🔹 Dementia – Memory loss is not always the first symptom. Some types of dementia cause mood swings, confusion, or unusual behavior before memory problems appear.
🔹 Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) – In older adults, UTIs do not always cause pain. Instead, they can cause confusion, agitation, or even hallucinations.
🔹 Depression – Seniors can struggle with depression just like anyone else. If they seem uninterested in things they used to enjoy, they might need support.

If you have noticed a sudden change in your loved one, do not ignore it. A doctor can help find the cause and the right treatment. 💙
