Find the Right Assisted, Memory, or Independent Living on Long Island — At No Cost to You
Expert guidance from someone who's been in your shoes. Free, local, and personal support every step of the way.
Mike McClernon
Local, Experienced, and Here to Help
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. Learn more about my 4-step process or contact me today to get started.
This isn't just a service. It's a responsibility I take personally.
Our 4-Step Senior Planning Process
Personalized Assessment & Care Matching
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, or Independent Living, I'll help you find options that feel right for your family.
Expert Guidance & Local Knowledge
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.
Transition Support & Long-Term Planning
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. I help you think ahead so your loved one can age in place with fewer disruptions.
Ongoing Follow-Up & 24-Month Support Check-In
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. Get in touch to learn more about our ongoing support.
