Matt Staley

Matt has been a physical therapist for 21 years working primarily with the geriatric population. Matt is a Geriatric Certified Specialist with a passion for helping people maintain their independent lifestyle. Through personal and professional experiences, Matt has seen firsthand the stress and anxiety that comes with having to make the difficult decision to place a loved one in an assisted living community.

As a physical therapist, his expertise was often sought out when having to decide which community would be the right fit. He has spent the majority of his professional career practicing in assisted living communities, and Matt has a unique advantage of knowing what each community has to offer regarding the needs of our clients. Clients and their families were always so grateful that Matt was able to help them navigate this difficult decision. That is when he decided to shift career focus to helping clients and their families find the living accommodations that best fits the needs of their loved ones.

Lisa Williams

Hi my name is Lisa Williams and I cover the Lexington and Eastern KY territory with Senior Living Locators.

With a degree in Business Administration and Sales & Marketing I started my career in a skilled nursing home setting. I have worked with the geriatric population for over 27 years. While it was very rewarding to bring a patient into the facility and watch the patient get stronger every day by working with therapy and nursing towards their goals something was missing as everyone is not always safe to return home. It can be tough to have a conversation with a loved one who desperately wants their loved one home discuss what happens if the loved one cannot go home. After 19 years of working in a skilled nursing home setting I decided to switch journeys on my career path. With Senior Living Locators not only do I get the opportunity to explain to families the different levels of care with senior retirement communities I work right beside the family to try and help determine “which” communities would be the best fit for them based on their care needs, geographical location and budget. We also factor in the following: are they a smoker, do they have pets, are they claustrophobic, or afraid of heights. I work directly with the patient and family so there is no confusion between what they want or need. I love what I do as it’s the best feeling knowing you have given a family all options available for their loved one. Once they move in I make it a priority to go visit them to see how they are doing on their new journey of life.
