Mom can't live alone anymore — and you don't have to figure this out by yourself.

There's no catch — you never pay me directly. When your loved one is placed in a care home that meets their needs, that care home pays me a referral fee for my services. I never charge any family, and your monthly rate is the same either way. I disclose this arrangement openly.

Fast. Because I work locally and already know the care homes around Alliance, Canton, and Salem, I can usually bring you the best realistic options within days — often faster, depending on placement availability — and coordinate directly with the discharge planner. Don't accept the default placement just because the clock is ticking — here's how discharge placement works.

That's normal, and it usually takes more than one conversation. I help families lead with safety and specific observations instead of ultimatums, and I can join the conversation as a neutral third party. Sometimes the right first step is smaller — like an adult foster care home that feels like a house, not a facility.

Assisted living is apartment-style with help for daily tasks. Adult foster care homes care for a few residents in a real house — often gentler and more affordable. Nursing homes provide 24/7 skilled medical care. Matching the level of care to your parent's actual needs is the heart of what I do — see the full breakdown.

Local assisted living averages around $4,900/month, ranging roughly $2,400–$8,500 depending on care level and amenities. Adult foster care is often less. I match options to your realistic budget before you tour anywhere.

Medicare doesn't pay for long-term assisted living. Ohio's Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver can help qualifying seniors in participating care homes, and wartime veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance. I'll help you understand which paths might apply to your family.

You will never receive an invoice from NEOhio Senior Transitions — for anything. Movers, cleaners, and estate services bill you directly at their normal rates (they pay me a referral fee for the coordination), and every price is quoted to you in writing before any work begins. You approve each quote first. More on how the move side works.

Yes — this is one of the most common calls I get. I tour care homes in person and video-call you from each one, coordinate the movers, and check everything on move-in day so you're not managing a move from hundreds of miles away. Here's how the move side works.

National services work by phone from call centers and share your contact info with many facilities at once. I'm local and one-on-one: I've personally walked the halls of the places I recommend, I meet your family in person, and I build a personalized plan — then coordinate every step of it through move-in day and beyond.

A Senior Transition Specialist guides families through a major life transition from start to finish: assessing care needs, finding the right housing arrangement, coordinating the move, and connecting the family with community resources like healthcare referrals, benefits, and food access. One person, the whole journey.

I'm based in Alliance, Ohio and personally serve families across Stark, Columbiana, Mahoning, and Portage counties — including Alliance, Sebring, Salem, Minerva, Canton, North Canton, Louisville, Carrollton, Lisbon, Columbiana, Massillon, Hartville, and Ravenna.
