One of my strongest values I have is my work ethic.  My family instilled this at a young age.  You show up early with a great attitude and you do whatever is needed of you.  Customer service was always paramount and you always did the right thing.  Always.  This culture started at home with my father, a four-year veteran of the Marine Corp and Crash Captain for the Federal Fire Department.  His father, a career in the Navy he served in World War 2 and Korea.  My other great influence was my maternal grandfather, a World War 2 veteran who was a butcher and grocery man by trade worked to provide for his family, but also served his community as a business owner.  These men worked hard, were leaders in their field, served their country, and were always helping others.  I have a servant’s heart, but it really began to show when I started Assisted Living Locators five years ago.

My background has not always been in the senior industry or healthcare.  In fact, it was pretty far removed from that world.  It was horticulture and more specifically landscaping.  I always thought that was where I would stay.  Until my father-in-law’s diagnosis.

In the late summer/early fall of 2017, my father in law’s health was declining.  The symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia worsened and the family had to make the painful decision that he could no longer be cared for in his home.  With no guidance and naïve about senior resources, my family began the search for a memory care community.  The very first community that they visited became m father-in-law’s new home.  But it was not for long.  After three months, it was obvious the community was not a good fit.  Overwhelmed and stressed my family started the search for a new community.  This experience of moving a loved one proved to be emotionally taxing on every level and moving twice was especially difficult.  In the spring of 2018, I was introduced to Assisted Living Locators.  Their model was exactly what my family needed only 6 months earlier.   In June of 2018, I opened the first Assisted Living Locators in Indiana as a resource for central Indiana families. 

Assisted Living Locators of North Indy is a no-cost service for seniors and families making the transition to independent, assisted living, and memory care.  Think of me as a senior living realtor. I stay with you through every step of the process.  From understanding the all the concerns from location, apartment size, and cost to care needs and long-term goals.  I will accompany the families on the tour and ensure you understand care levels and costs.  I will help you navigate your options so families and seniors can make an educated and informed decision.  And find the best community.

I am a CSA, Certified Senior Advisor and active on many boards and committees in the senior industry.  I am a Sub Committee Chair Member with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.  Board member of the Central Indiana Senior Fund and on the board for the local chapter of the Case Manager Society of America.    I am also a Dementia Friends Indiana Champion.  Dave lives in the Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis with his wife Carolyn and their dog, Butters.

Dave takes such care and concern when consulting with clients and finding the perfect fit for your loved one.

5/ 5

With Dave’s compassion and understanding, this was the best decision made when I was faced with what seemed like the impossible “next step” for my Dad who had significantly declined during this year. Among a pandemic, he was struggling with day to day focus, often making even simple tasks such as paying the bills, cooking at home and driving a challenge. I was referred to Dave through Joy’s House and he truly made the impossible, possible. Dave takes such care and concern when consulting with clients and finding the perfect fit for your loved one. He is knowledgeable, kind and light hearted when those times are needed. I would absolutely recommend his services when the time comes to move your loved one to assisted living. ~ Jessica Lynn ~
