Cottage Senior Advisors has expanded its no-cost senior living advisory services in and around Nashville, providing additional support for families evaluating care options for an aging loved one. Founded by former nurse Patti Keitzman, the agency works with seniors and their families to assess care needs, compare available options, and identify suitable living arrangements based on health, lifestyle, and budget considerations.

Senior living occupancy continued to rise during the first quarter of 2026, reaching 89.5% nationally, according to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care. With demand increasing and new community openings remaining limited, families are often facing a more competitive search process when trying to secure appropriate care and living arrangements for loved ones.
Cottage Senior Advisors notes that many families begin the process with extensive online research but quickly discover that comparing communities, understanding different levels of care, and evaluating availability can be time-consuming and overwhelming. The agency was established to reduce that burden by providing one-on-one guidance throughout the decision-making process.
Using a consultative approach, its advisors work with families to understand a senior's medical needs, daily living requirements, financial circumstances, and personal preferences before recommending appropriate options - which may include independent living communities, assisted living facilities, memory care residences, residential care homes, or in-home care providers.
“Families are often making important decisions while balancing medical concerns, financial considerations, and emotional stress at the same time,” a company representative said. “Having experienced guidance helps them focus on finding the right fit instead of sorting through hundreds of options on their own.”
After identifying suitable options, advisors coordinate community tours, assist with move-in planning, and remain available to provide support after placement. The company notes that its services are offered at no cost to families and are intended to simplify what is often a significant life transition.
