When families need help finding Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Independent Living, I guide them through every step from assessing care needs to scheduling tours and making sure it’s still the right fit even months after move-in. My help is always local, personal, and 100% free to families.
But this work didn’t start as a career — it started with my own mom.
when my sisters and I needed to find care for her, we saw how overwhelming, urgent, and unclear the process can be. That experience changed everything. It’s why I do this work today to bring families clarity, confidence, and compassion at one of the most difficult moments in life.
I’ve toured over 90 senior living communities across Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens. I know what they offer beyond the brochures and I help families avoid the common pitfalls of going it alone.
This isn’t just a service. It’s a responsibility I take personally.

Mike McClernon is a kind and caring person. I feel confident working with him. Catherine Vapsva2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough of Mike and the top-notch service that he provides. He made what I consider a daunting process so much less stressful. He toured several assisted living/memory care facilities with me and my brother until we found the perfect fit for my dad. Having gone through a similar journey with his own mom, Mike taught us what to look for and what to stay away from based upon his own personal experience. Mike asked questions at each facility that he knew the answers to, but he asked for my benefit. He is extremely knowledgeable and always reachable to provide guidance and expertise. He was mindful of our budget and explained the advantages and disadvantages of different facilities. There were communities closer in proximity that I insisted on touring. Because we had extra time, Mike convinced me to look at another and guess what? It is the place we chose for Dad! Mike's professionalism, warmth and commitment put us at ease throughout the entire process. His service and efforts far exceeded our expectations and we are beyond grateful to him. While I am confident that we made the right decision for Dad, I also know that we couldn't have done it without Mike. Ronan Hickey2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My father in-law luckily met Mike McClernon at an event at the Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center. I later followed up with Mike to get some information but initially didn’t engage his services as we tried to keep my mother in-law at home. As our situation changed I reached out to Mike again and he organized a tour at a facility we loved. Mike listened to our evolving needs, provided keen insights and was a true partner throughout the difficult process and decision of what was the best way to care for my mother in-law and meet her needs. At no point did we feel pressure to make a decision. Mike’s empathy and patience is much appreciated and we hope other families can avail of his guidance as they seek the best outcome for their love one. H Nemzer2025-02-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike is an incredibly compassionate and wise resource. Extremely knowledgeable. And let's is take our time to digest all options. So glad he came into our lives.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Whether you’re just beginning your search or need urgent placement guidance, I’m here to help. Reach out anytime—I’d be honored to assist you.
When I meet with families, I take the time to understand your loved one’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and financial needs. From there, I recommend communities that align with those needs—offering the right level of care, comfort, and support. Whether you’re looking for Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living, or Home Care, I’ll help you find options that feel right for your family.
I’ve personally toured and evaluated over 90 senior communities across Long Island and Queens. I know which ones offer excellent care, fair pricing, strong reputations, and the amenities that matter most. I’ll guide you through the process—scheduling tours, asking the right questions, and helping you make an informed, pressure-free decision.
My job doesn’t end once a move-in happens. I look at how well each community can support your loved one’s evolving needs. Some facilities don’t offer advanced care like memory support or wheelchair accommodations. I help you think ahead so your loved one can age in place with fewer disruptions—and you can feel confident in the long-term plan.
I don’t stop once your loved one moves in. Over the next 24 months, I stay in touch to make sure the community continues to meet their needs—physically, emotionally, and financially. If care needs change or new concerns come up, I’ll help you reassess and adjust the plan. My goal is to make sure you feel supported long after move-in day and confident that you made the right choice for your family.
We help families find the right senior living community—whether that’s Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living, or Home Care. We assess your loved one’s needs, compare options, and guide you through every step of the decision-making process. Our service is completely free for families.
We conduct a personalized assessment that looks at physical health, cognitive ability, mobility, social preferences, and financial situation. Based on that, we recommend the most suitable type of care and community options.
No. Our placement services are offered at no cost to you. We’re compensated by the communities only if and when your loved one moves in—but our guidance remains 100% focused on what’s best for your family.
It depends on your timeline. We can work quickly if your loved one needs immediate placement, such as after a hospital stay. For others, we provide a longer-term planning approach to ensure the right fit—now and in the future.
We provide unbiased guidance across all local communities, not just one. Instead of making dozens of phone calls, you work with one expert who knows the pros, cons, and reputations of each facility—and can help match you with the right one.
