I help families in the Bay Area make the best senior care and living decisions. (home care, assisted living, memory care)

02/02/2026

Across the San Francisco Bay Area, I continue to meet families facing senior care decisions while already overwhelmed and emotionally drained. The pressure is enormous and what they need often goes beyond clinical insight.

They need:
✔ Clear explanations of care levels
✔ Realistic expectations
✔ Guidance in choosing the right assisted living community
✔ A steady, calming guide who puts their senior loved one first

As trusted referral partners, we have an opportunity to bridge that gap. If you’re a social worker, case manager, fiduciary, elder law attorney, or another professional serving senior clients, I’d welcome the chance to connect and explore how we can better support families and their senior loved ones together.

“Brent has been a godsend in helping me and my family get my parents transitioned into assisted living.”

Helping a loved one move into assisted living is rarely quick or easy. It’s emotional. It’s overwhelming. And families are often carrying far more than they should on their own. My client and his family were navigating a long, stressful process filled with tours, conversations, negotiations, and tough decisions. But they didn’t have to do it alone.

“I’m so thankful for him. Do not hesitate to work with Brent. He’s as good as it gets.”

This is why I do this work. My role is to take pressure off families, simplify the process, and make sure no one feels rushed, confused, or unsupported while making one of the most important decisions of their lives.

If your family is feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, please reach out. I’m here to help.

People sometimes ask me how I got into the senior living industry. The truth is, it started with my own family. When my parents needed support, I remember the uncertainty, the pressure and the urgency. I remember feeling like we had to make the “right” decision with very little guidance. Looking back, I realized no family should have to navigate that alone.

That’s why I show up every day as a Senior Care Coach. My mission is to give families clarity, dignity and emotional support when they need it most. This work isn’t just my career. It’s personal. And if you’re facing that same uncertainty now, I’m here to support you. https://sanfrancisco.assistedlivinglocators.com/

“I really don’t know where we’d be without Brent’s guidance.”

My client’s mother had been in a skilled nursing facility for over six months, with minimal rehab and growing concern about whether her needs were truly being met and that this level of care was not what she needed. The one thing this family was certain of was that their mom needed more specialized care and finding the right place felt overwhelming.

Over three months, we toured and had discussions with multiple memory care communities. Some weren’t the right fit. Others didn’t quite feel right. That uncertainty weighed heavily on the family. Throughout the process, I stayed alongside them, searching, following up, explaining options, and helping them understand what really mattered for his mom’s safety, dignity, and quality of life. Eventually, we found a memory care community that could truly meet his mother’s needs.

This is what guidance looks like:
✔️ Patience
✔️ Advocacy
✔️ Clear explanations
✔️ Never rushing a family into a decision

Memory care decisions are complex and emotional, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. If your loved one isn’t receiving the care they need, or you’re unsure what the next step should be, I’m here to help. https://sanfrancisco.assistedlivinglocators.com/

Before I ever helped families professionally, I walked this journey with my own family. My mother-in-law in Germany was living with dementia. At first, the changes were subtle: forgotten conversations, small moments of confusion, things easy to explain away. Like many families, my husband and I told ourselves, “This is manageable. We’ll figure it out.”
And we tried.

Care slowly became more hands-on. Routines became fragile. Safety became a daily concern. And the emotional weight of watching someone you love change was something no one prepares you for.

What we learned is this: love alone isn’t enough to stop dementia. Support, structure, and the right environment matter for the person living with the disease and for the family caring for them.

That experience changed how I see senior care forever. Today, when I work with families facing dementia, I understand the fear, the guilt, the second-guessing. I know how hard it is to ask, “Is it time?” And I also know how much relief comes when families finally get the right support. You don’t have to wait until you’re exhausted.

You don’t have to do this alone. And you’re not giving up. You’re showing love in a different way. If dementia is part of your family’s story, we’re here to help you navigate what comes next with compassion, clarity, and care.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions we hear from families and their seniors. Assisted Living is not a "Nursing Home". Here are the differences:

Assisted Living Communities:
✔ Private apartments
✔ Engaging activities
✔ Support with daily tasks
✔ Restaurant-style dining
✔ Social connections

Nursing Homes (Skilled Nursing):
✔ Clinical care
✔ Short Term Rehab or Long Term Care
✔ 24/7 medical level care

They serve very different purposes and the confusion often stops families/seniors from exploring the support they need. If you’re unsure which is right for your senior loved one, we can help you assess their needs and understand your options. Call us at: 415-766-0361
