The Story Behind Hummingbird
My grandpa was like a second dad to me.
When he got older and needed help, his kids were living in Florida and New York and couldn't make it out to Arizona. So I showed up. I even left my job so I could be there for him - every Friday, I drove to his assisted living community, took him to his doctor's appointments, went shopping for him, and brought him food. I just took care of him - because he was my grandpa, and I loved him.
But there was something that always stayed with me: he didn't like where he was living. The care wasn't what it should have been. And the hard truth is, nobody had really taken the time to find the right community for him. His family made the best decision they could from far away, without someone local who knew the communities, who could ask the right questions, who could advocate for him.
I wish someone had been there to help them do that.
That experience never left me. I saw what it looks like when a senior ends up in the wrong community - and I saw what it costs them. I also saw how much a little attention, a little advocacy, a little showing up on Fridays can mean to someone who might otherwise feel forgotten.
That's why I started Hummingbird Senior Advisors.
I don't want your family to look back and wish you'd had more help making this decision. I want to be the person who helps you find the right community - the one where your loved one will actually be cared for, actually feel at home, and actually thrive.
This is personal for me. And I will treat your family like it's personal for me too.
