Assisted Living Advisors stands out in a landscape often defined by complex systems, emotional decisions, and a sea of choices. Not as a large agency or automated service, but the company stands out due to the profoundly personalized work of an experienced professional. Founded and operated by Jenny Swanson, a veteran of the senior living industry, the company brings two decades of hands-on expertise to families during one of the most vulnerable transitions they may ever face. “Each family’s situation is unique. They don’t need a hundred options—they need the right one,” she mentions. Swanson did not arrive in this field by chance. With over 20 years of experience working within senior living communities, she knows what quality care looks like from the inside. She understands the logistics of different care models—such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing—and the realities that families face when trying to choose between them. Six years ago, she launched Assisted Living Advisors with the mission of helping families make informed, confident decisions. But her vision extends far beyond simply finding placements. Jenny aims to be a trusted resource for everything senior-related, from legal and financial planning to in-home care, hospice, and therapy coordination. One-on-One Guidance, Every Step of the Way The company’s heart lies in its process—a step-by-step journey that always begins with listening. Swanson meets with families in person or virtually to understand their situation. She gathers not just medical and financial details but also personal preferences that often go unspoken: food choices, hobbies, religious values, fears, and hopes. From there, she identifies a short list of carefully selected communities and schedules tours—always joining in person to guide the conversation and ask critical questions.

In an industry often dominated by franchises and standardized models, BlueDot Cares stands apart by weaving deep local roots and personalized attention into every aspect of its service. Founded and operated in the heart of Charlotte, NC, it redefines what it means to be a home care provider. Through a thoughtful combination of professional healthcare knowledge, customized support systems, and an empathetic understanding of family needs, the company has carved a niche beyond caregiving—it offers trust, partnership, and peace of mind. At the core of BlueDot Cares’ philosophy is the idea that home care should not feel like a transaction but rather a trusted relationship. Unlike many national franchise models that adhere to rigid procedures, BlueDot Cares embraces flexibility and responsiveness. “Being a locally owned business allows us to adapt to meet the needs of our clients,” says Jimmy Clonaris, managing partner. “We’re not just a service provider—we act as a trusted advisor to families navigating difficult, often emotional, transitions.” BlueDot Cares’ presence in the Charlotte healthcare ecosystem isn’t new. Before venturing into home care, the team built a strong foundation through a successful medical equipment company. With more than two decades of experience serving local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and families, Clonaris and his team entered the home care space with a reputation for reliability and a deep understanding of the local healthcare landscape. One of BlueDot Cares’ clearest differentiators is its dual-service offering: home care and senior placement services. Rather than focusing narrowly on a single avenue of care, the company assists families both in their homes and as they transition into senior communities. This holistic approach allows them to remain by the family’s side, regardless of the stage of care. From hourly companionship and transportation to round-the-clock personal care and dementia support, BlueDot Cares creates a full spectrum of solutions tailored to each family’s evolving needs. Dementia care, in particular, has become a significant focus for the company. Recognizing the growing number of clients living with cognitive decline, BlueDot Cares has become one of only a handful of providers in North Carolina certified under the Teepa Snow dementia training program.
