When the path forward isn't clear
Independent guidance for families navigating senior care — whether that means finding the right community or building a stronger plan at home.
Families at a crossroads
Most families come to us at a moment of transition — a hospital discharge, a fall, a diagnosis, or the quiet realization that things can't stay as they are.
A parent just got a diagnosis
Dementia, Parkinson's, or another condition that changes what care looks like. You need to understand what's ahead — and what options actually fit.
Hospital discharge in 48 hours
The social worker handed you a list of facilities. You have no idea how to evaluate them, and the clock is running.
Home care isn't working anymore
You've tried to make it work at home, but the care needs have outgrown what's possible. You need an honest assessment of what comes next.
You're not sure a move is needed
Maybe a community is the right answer. Maybe better home care coordination is. We'll help you figure out which — without pressure toward either.
What makes this different
Most placement services are paid to fill beds. We're paid to give you the right answer — even if that answer is to wait.
We start with the clinical picture
Most families are handed a list of communities without anyone first asking the right medical questions. We do the assessment first.
We're independent
We disclose our compensation model to every family upfront. If the right answer is a community we don't have a relationship with, we say so.
We stay through the transition
Most advisors disappear after the move-in paperwork is signed. We check in at 30, 60, and 90 days — because that's when problems surface.
We speak the language
We can communicate directly with hospital discharge planners, case managers, and physicians — and translate that into plain language for families.
Healthcare system expertise — for every care transition
Coastal Care Advisors was founded by a healthcare administration professional who spent a career watching families get lost in a system that wasn't designed to help them.
A career in healthcare administration means understanding how care systems work — and where families get lost trying to navigate them alone.
How we are funded
In certain instances, we may receive a referral fee from the community or home care provider a family ultimately selects — making our service free to families. We disclose this to everyone upfront, and we never steer toward a higher-fee option.
Three ways we work with families
Every engagement starts with a free consultation. From there, we match the service to what your situation actually requires.
Senior Community Placement
Full-service placement guidance — from clinical assessment through move-in and 90-day follow-through. Our service is free to families.
Hourly Care Navigation
For families who need guidance but not a placement — care plan disputes, home care coordination, early-stage planning, or a second opinion. Fee discussed in consultation.
Ongoing Care Advocacy — Monthly Subscription
Monthly check-ins, written summaries, and care plan oversight — for families who want a professional in their corner long after move-in.
Pricing for all services is discussed in a private consultation — free, no obligation, no charge for the initial conversation.
