About Seniorlink

Seniorlink is committed to helping seniors age with dignity, including the ability to live in the least restrictive setting.

Seniorlink was founded in 2000 by E. Byron Hensley, Jr., who was impassioned by his own family caregiving experiences to expand the choices available to elders in need of care. The key to his vision was to support family members in providing care to the senior at home, where he or she could live as independently as possible.

Seniorlink built the first nationwide network of credentialed care managers. With professionals located in all 50 states, we are able to offer families qualified, local-level referrals — unlike any other eldercare resource. Our nationwide reach enables Seniorlink to serve even long-distance caregivers.

To date, Seniorlink has enrolled more than 1,200 care managers in its network. Our combination of credentialing and background verification, coupled with the supervision of Seniorlink’s clinical staff, has set the standard for geriatric care management.

Caregiver Homes

In 2005, Seniorlink launched Caregiver Homes, a community-based care option for frail elders who can no longer live independently at home. Caregiver Homes is modeled after The Mentor Network, which Mr. Hensley founded in 1983. Mentor operates a similar system of host homes to care for people with developmental disabilities, at-risk youth and individuals with brain injuries. Mentor now operates 8,500 homes in 32 states and has more than $420 million in annual revenues.

Caregiver Homes has generated significant interest among both public and private organizations concerned with creating more community-based options for long-term care. Among others, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has implemented a Caregiver Homes program to serve elders receiving state home care services but who are at risk for institutionalization.
