About the Senior Care Referral Specialists team

Catharine Shepard, the President of Senior Care Referral Specialists, Inc. and her team of local consultants are professionals with over 20 years of combined knowledge and experience at all levels in the eldercare field. They have assisted thousands of families in their search for appropriate senior living and care, and are a resource for many senior industry and care professionals, who refer to them frequently.

Catharine grew up in a home with her grandmother living with her family until she needed a level of care that could not be provided at home. Her first volunteer position in junior high school was in a nursing home, where she continued developing a love for the elderly. Her background in personnel, training and development in various fields led to a career in healthcare, where she has been responsible for the training and management of many eldercare consultants before starting Senior Care Referral Specialists, Inc.

“My mother lived until her mid 90’s, and I have had several other elderly relatives who have all experienced significant care issues, so I understand firsthand the struggles families deal with when faced with the needs of elderly loved ones. Helping them maintain their dignity and independence as much as possible while finding the right care solution is paramount in our work with families. We promise that we will walk alongside you in this important journey and always do whatever we can to assist you in finding the best options to provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing those you love are safe and cared for.”
