What Makes Us Different?

Owl Be There isn’t a quick-referral-based-on-zip-code type of service. The decisions you have to make are critical, and you need the best information and advice available to help you understand your options.

That’s what we do. All day, every day. We help find senior assisted living communities that meet the needs and budgets of the seniors we serve. 

Our Senior Living Advisors meet with seniors and their families – sometimes with their doctors, hospital case managers, or other care professionals – to fully assess the client’s healthcare, social and other unique needs. We get to know our senior clients and understand what’s important to them. Only then are we comfortable making recommendations from our extensive list of qualified communities. We build a schedule and tour locations with clients as requested to support clear communication and help ask the important questions.

Our goal throughout the process is to ensure you are getting the wise care guidance you or your senior loved one deserve.

Our name is our commitment to you: Owl Be There.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Thank you for your help in finding the right place in Northern Virginia to transition my father. I could not have navigated as well all the aspects and logistics involved without your guidance and advice. As you may remember my father was a challenging situation, but you and Danny took it on quickly and effectively and I can report that it has turned out to be a very good fit for him. I feel blessed to have had your expertise and support in sorting through options. Owl Be There was there for us!”  – E.V.

“I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your help and guidance. You did so much above and beyond and helped alleviate so much of the stress. We will definitely sing the praises of your services to others when we get a chance.” – P.G.

“I don’t know where to start: Theresa for promptly responding to my request for help, talking to a panicked me and setting up the Zoom meetings. Danny for patiently helping us with those meetings, asking the questions we didn’t even know to ask and making sure we had enough information to make decisions. David, you saved me on Monday in ways you’ll never know. I was looking over the ledge and you brought me back to sanity. Your organization is wonderful. I truly wonder what I would have done without you. Thank you!”  – A. L.”

“This service is wonderful, especially during times of stress and uncertainty. The staff knows the right questions to ask and gets a real feel for family members. They were with us through the entire process when I had to move my 95-year-old parents from California to Virginia. They found the right assisted living location immediately. Very knowledgeable and they eased the process tremendously. I would highly recommend them.” – K.F.

“David at Owl Be There listened carefully to my quandary about how to help my dear friends, who are really like my parents. Within 24 hours he sifted through hundreds of choices and selected four places with current openings for us to tour right away. He even accompanied us on the tours and asked questions we would not have known to ask. I would definitely recommend this service to others and I would use the service myself if I should ever need this type of support again. Thanks a million.” – S.M.

“We moved our mother into the assisted living community today. Thank you so much for your kindness and quick action in getting us scheduled for tours and ultimately finding the perfect place for my mom. It is hard to express how much it meant to us to have your compassionate assistance during such a chaotic and stressful time for our family. Thank you again!” – J.R.

“I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you for Owl Be There’s assistance with my search and for the presence of your Senior Living Advisor, Mr. Danny Anderson. He was wonderful and asked all the questions I forgot to ask. What a ‘slice of heaven’!  Again, thank you and a BIG thank you to Danny…it was calming and supportive to have him with me throughout the visits.” – S.G.

“I live out of state and was apprehensive about locating and evaluating a place for my brother, but my Owl Be There advisor was highly knowledgeable, professional and informative. He arranged zoom sessions with facility managers and – most helpfully – joined in to ask questions when I wasn’t sure what to ask. His input was objective without ever being directive. My brother is now happily settled in to his new home away from home. I frankly don’t think I would have found such an appropriate place for him without the superb assistance I had from Owl Be There.”  – E.K.
