About Joanne
Assisted Living Locators provides a free senior care advisory service for families exploring assisted living and related care options. They support older adults and their families through the placement process, from early questions through move-in.
Their work typically includes assessing care needs, helping families evaluate available options, arranging and attending tours, and coordinating next steps for the transition. Services are offered at no cost to families and are delivered within their local service area, with collaboration from trusted partners such as movers, downsizing professionals, home care, and hospice when additional support is needed.
Joanne approaches senior placement with a strong sense of responsibility to the family, especially when situations are time-sensitive or support is limited. When plans change or fall apart, she stays engaged, making new connections, and focusing on getting the transition completed rather than stepping back. Families without local advocates often rely on Joanne to coordinate details and keep momentum during stressful moments.
Her guidance goes beyond clinical needs to include social, cultural, and lifestyle considerations. This is especially important when evaluating smaller assisted living homes, where fit matters and environments can vary widely. Joanne also brings practical experience supporting veterans and VA-related considerations, and goes above and beyond, even helping families explore options to keep people and pets together when possible or assisting with responsible rehoming when needed.
