About Carrie
Beyond the resume
Carrie came to senior transitions through her own family: after helping her parents navigate the move out of a long-time home, she understood in a personal way what that process costs emotionally, not just logistically. That experience is part of what drew her toward senior real estate specifically, and eventually toward placement work. Jeff and Carrie are also active participants in the Austin Alzheimer's community: both are involved with the Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's in Austin, with Carrie serving as a team captain.
Assisted Living Locators Greater Austin helps families in the greater Austin area find the right fit when a loved one needs more support. Carrie and Jeff Leinen guide families through options across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and in-home care: providing personalized assessments, guided tours, financial guidance, and emergency placement assistance when time is short.
The engagement typically begins with a needs assessment covering care requirements, budget, and lifestyle preferences, followed by curated options and accompanied tours. Carrie and Jeff serve Travis County, portions of Hays County, and Williamson County, including Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Georgetown.
Carrie and Jeff Leinen bring a combination that's rare in senior living placement: 30 years of emergency medicine and 20 years of real estate in the same conversation.
Jeff spent three decades as an ER physician: board-certified, fellowship-trained (FACEP), and Medical Director at South Austin Hospital. He watched families face urgent care decisions without enough information or the right support. That experience sharpened his understanding of what's at stake when health and housing decisions converge, and what families need when they do.
Carrie brings the invaluable experience of 20 years helping older adults navigate one of the most emotionally loaded transitions a household can face. She reads what families aren't saying yet: the financial constraints, the neighborhood that matters, the difference between a placement that looks right and one that actually fits.
Together, they cover the full picture in a way most placement advisors can't.
