Personal Senior Advocates

We have built our practice “one client at a time”. It has grown the on trust and respect of our clients, earned by the results we have achieved for them.  Many of clients have been direct referrals from families we have previously served.

As an experienced and trusted advocacy practice, Personal Senior Advocates is proud to offer a variety of services to meet the needs of our Senior clients who are in medical crisis, in transition, or require ongoing care oversight.  Each of our services are delivered by a highly skilled and designated team member; based on their personal experience, professional background, and your location.

Personal Senior Advocates is one of the few practices in Orange County, CA that offers Admission/Transition Assistance and Facility Care Oversight services. These unique services are offered to assist Seniors and their family members during the most challenging times of a health crisis.  Both services require a clear understanding of how a facility functions, roles and responsibilities of the medical staff, and the rights of the patient.
