Our Services
How we help...
Your parents' needs are and will be ever evolving — and so should their care plan. We begin every engagement with a comprehensive assessment, followed by a tailored strategy designed to support health, independence, and quality of life.
What Is a Senior Advocate?
A Senior Advocate is a trusted advisor who represents you or your parent’s best interests when you're unable to be there yourself. More than a caregiver or case manager, an advocate provides personalized guidance, oversight, and coordination across every aspect of aging — from healthcare to housing to legal and financial matters.
At Senior Advocate Services, we serve as your family’s liaison, strategist, and support system. We ensure you and your parents' needs are heard, wishes are honored, and every decision is made with confidence and clarity.
Our clients are private paying, we do not accept insurance nor do we take referral fees and/or commissions from the organizations and people we work with.
Our role is not to replace you — it’s to be the partner you can trust when it matters most.
Dealing with the decline of an elderly parent is never easy, but it was an incredible help to have Art and Sara Lynn at our side as we dealt with a whole host of issues ranging from finding medical and nursing help, researching and placement in assisted living, arranging move-in to the community, engaging with assisted living staff to help ensure the most attentive care, helping with errands and transportation to appointments, and finally, in the end, coordinating the transportation and disposition of my mother's things after her passing.
Art and Sara Lynn did all the above with diligence and above all grace and sensitivity and ensured that my mother always felt she was treated with dignity and respect. Thank you.

Art and Sara Lynn are true professionals who care about the individuals they work with. They are good listeners and work hard to get to know everyone in the family, so that all feel cared for.
They have been an invaluable resource as we’ve had to navigate quickly changing health needs for my parents, and they do it with a calm and reassuring presence. They have close contacts with hospitals, transport services, rehab facilities, and aide agencies — so needs can be met quickly and seamlessly.
I cannot thank them enough for the peace of mind they’ve given me as I live 5000 miles away from my parents.

Chief Operating Officer
I founded Senior Advocate Services because I saw a growing need that wasn’t being met — families trying to care for aging parents were overwhelmed, often living far away, and unsure where to turn. I wanted to offer more than referrals or case management. I wanted to build long-term, trusted relationships rooted in clarity, calm, and confidence.
When Sara Lynn joined the team, she brought an incredible depth of experience and the same values I built this company on: discretion, compassion, and the ability to guide families through life’s most complex transitions. Together, we’ve supported families throughout Connecticut with personalized elder care consulting they can rely on — when they need it most. ~ Art Mulligan
