About Lee Thompson
Most of the families we meet are facing these decisions for the first time — choosing care for someone they love, and wanting to get it right. It's unfamiliar territory, and the stakes feel personal.
We do this work because nobody should have to figure that out alone. We've each walked this road with our own families, so we know what it feels like from your side of the table. And as part of CarePatrol, we've helped thousands of families find the right fit over the past 30 years.
As Certified Senior Advisors with CarePatrol of Chandler-Gilbert, we walk with families through the entire senior living search — at no cost to you.
- As many conversations as it takes to understand your loved one's needs, budget, and preferences
- A short list of vetted communities that actually fit your situation
- Scheduled tours — we personally tour alongside your family, with honest debriefs afterward
- Resources for every phase of the process, from the first questions to move-in day and beyond

Frequently asked questions
What does a senior living advisor do?
Lee helps families compare senior living options, schedule and walk through tours, understand pricing and what's included, and coordinate the move into the right community. The service is local, free to families, and tailored to the situation. No national call center.
Is your service really free?
Yes. Families pay nothing. No consultation fee, no sign-up fee, no ongoing charge. Pricing at the community is the same whether you reach out directly or work with Lee.
How quickly will I hear back?
Lee aims to return calls and emails the same business day. Messages left after hours are returned the next morning. For urgent hospital-discharge timelines, Lee can typically meet a 48-hour shortlist turnaround.
What if I don't live in the same state as my parent?
Out-of-state families are common. Lee coordinates fully by phone, email, and video, including walk-through tours with whichever family member can be present. Decision conversations include everyone you want involved.
Do you help with Medicaid?
Yes. Many senior living communities accept Medicaid. Lee can walk through eligibility, the typical timeline, and which communities have current Medicaid openings. Medicaid bed availability moves week to week, so timing matters.
What care types do you help place?
Assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled care. If your loved one's needs sit between categories, Lee will talk through what's realistic, what each license actually covers, and what fits the household.
