Felicia Sanders and Jennifer Thayer Discuss Helping Families Navigate Senior Living and Care Decisions at No Cost
CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior care referral and placement service, will be featured on Life+Leisure, hosted by Bill and Giuliana Rancic, airing on AMC on October 21, 2026, at 7:30 a.m. ET. The segment explores how personalized guidance and local expertise help families make informed decisions about senior living and care.
The segment features Felicia Sanders, Brand President of Assisted Living Locators, and Jennifer Thayer, RN, owner of Assisted Living Locators of Pittsburgh, a Certified Senior Advisor® and Certified Dementia Practitioner®. They discuss the questions families face when evaluating care needs, costs, and living arrangements for an aging loved one.
“Families need more than a list of senior living options. They need someone who will listen, understand what matters to them, and help them work through the decisions ahead,” said Felicia Sanders, Brand President of Assisted Living Locators. “Our local advisors help families compare care options, ask questions, and visit communities so they can make an informed decision for someone they love at no cost to them.”
Assisted Living Locators pairs families with local senior care certified advisors who know the communities, care providers, and resources in their area. Advisors help families understand the differences between care options, evaluate costs, coordinate tours, and identify arrangements that fit their loved one’s needs, preferences, location, and budget. This guidance is provided at no cost to families.
Thayer draws on 18 years of nursing experience and training in senior care and dementia to discuss situations such as unexpected hospital discharges, changing cognitive needs, and caregiver burnout. The conversation also addresses how decisions about senior care affect independence, safety, family relationships, and quality of life.
A central message of the feature is that families do not need to wait for a crisis to begin planning. Early conversations about care needs and preferences can give families more time to explore options. For those responding to an urgent change, local advisors can help them understand available choices and determine next steps.
Sanders also discusses the organization’s work to strengthen its advisor network, support franchise owners, and build relationships with healthcare professionals, rehabilitation centers, elder law attorneys, and other community partners. These relationships help connect families with guidance when care needs change.
