place for their loved one. Whether it is for an independent living situation or full-time care, Lindsey can help take the burden of finding a senior housing option off your family’s shoulders. Taking into account your lifestyle, finances and other factors, she will work with you to find the right fit. “Each family is unique in their needs, so each requires a specialized plan of action,” said Lindsey. Originally from New York, Lindsey grew up outside of Rochester. As a young girl she played a lot of sports including field hockey and was heavily involved in Girl Scouts. Giving back to others was always important to her and whether it was through the Girl Scouts or with her mother, she enjoyed volunteering in her community. After high school she went on to the University of Rochester where she earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in Economics. Her professional interests led her more towards marketing, and for 15 years she worked in pharmaceutical research. In her role as a market researcher, she especially liked speaking with members of focus groups to make sure their voices were heard. Lindsey also moved around a bit after college and eventually landed in Chester County. “I’ve lived in a few places like Arizona and New Jersey and I found I just love the landscape out here in Pennsylvania,” said Lindsey. “It’s a great community full of wonderful people, too.“ As mom to two teenage children, Lindsey has enjoyed being active in their schools, whether it was coaching field hockey or volunteering with her daughter’s Girl Scout troop.

It’s been so rewarding to work directly with seniors and their families and to be their guide in what often is a time of crisis.” Lindsey said she was able to draw on many of her past experiences in market research, when she had listened to and gathered information from healthcare professionals, caregivers and patients. Lindsey’s compassionate and personalized approach puts families at ease. She assists in each step of the way, from the initial conversation, discussing potential communities that fit their needs, organizing tours and ultimately helping to coordinate
