Ann Jamison started Senior Living Options after going through the senior living search process with her own father. She found the experience overwhelming: too many options, not enough honest guidance. After placing him in a community where he genuinely thrived, she set out to give other families the same kind of support she wished she'd had. These are families that are ‘sandwiched’ between the demands of their own households and the needs of aging parents, and her work is built around relieving that pressure.

Her approach is concierge-style and deeply individual. Rather than using a standard assessment, she adapts her process to each person - exploring not just medical and financial needs, but also their social preferences, hobbies, cognitive changes, mobility, and personality. Because Senior Living Options is privately owned and not part of a franchise, her recommendations aren't shaped by quotas or corporate relationships - only what fits.
