Trusted Guidance for Your Senior Living Decisions

  Cathy Copley is the Founder of True North Senior Living Advisors, where she helps older adults and their families navigate senior living decisions with clarity, compassion, and confidence. With over 15 + years in senior living, home care, hospital business development, and family-centered support, Cathy brings both industry knowledge and personal understanding to one of life’s most emotional transitions.

Her work is rooted not only in professional experience, but also in lived experience.

Like so many families, Cathy found herself in crisis when her mother was being discharged from the hospital and was deemed no longer safe to return home. What should have been a carefully guided transition instead became a moment of urgency, uncertainty, and it was overwhelming. Cathy and her sisters were suddenly left scrambling to understand their options, assess what level of care their mother needed, and make an important decision under intense emotional pressure and time constraints.

That experience changed her.

It gave Cathy a deeply personal understanding of what families go through when an aging parent’s health or safety changes unexpectedly. She knows firsthand how frightening and disorienting it can feel when a hospital discharge, rehab transition, or sudden decline leaves families without a clear plan. She also knows how important it is to have someone calm, knowledgeable, and trustworthy to help guide the next steps.

Through True North Senior Living Advisors, Cathy now provides the kind of support she wishes her own family had during that difficult time. She works with families at every stage of transition, from proactive planning to urgent crisis situations, helping them identify the right senior living solution based on care needs, lifestyle, budget, location, and family priorities. She is especially skilled in helping families move through time-sensitive scenarios.

Cathy believes that every family deserves honest guidance, compassionate support, and a trusted advocate during moments of uncertainty. Her mission is to help families feel less alone, less overwhelmed, and more confident as they make decisions for the people they love most.
