    About Jorge Bassante

    Jorge is an Ecuadorian immigrant who moved to the United States at the tender age of 11. His journey was marked by remarkable academic success, culminating in graduating at the top of his class. This budding intellectual then went on to share his knowledge with others as a teacher.
    Yearning for his roots, Jorge decided to return to Ecuador, where he took a position in the pivotal oil sector. However, he quickly found that his ambitions surpassed the limitations of his government job, which offered low pay and little satisfaction.
    During a fateful conversation with his uncle, who was employed by a Dallas-based HVAC contractor, a spark of inspiration ignited within Jorge. The dialogue with his uncle opened a window to an entirely new pathway—one that seemed to promise the fulfillment and remuneration he was seeking. It was this very conversation that rerouted Jorge’s professional trajectory, setting him on a path that appeared to merge his desire for meaningful work with the potential for better financial rewards.

    Dave Holder Empowering Families to Make Informed Decisions About Senior Living

    In this episode, Nina Hershberger talks with Dave Holder, an expert in helping families find the right senior living community for their loved ones. Dave shares his personal journey that led him to this industry and the insights he’s gained along the way.

    Dave Holder is the owner of Assisted Living Locators in Indiana. After experiencing the challenges of finding the right community for his father-in-law, Dave decided to transition from a career in horticulture and landscaping to becoming a senior living advisor. He now uses his firsthand knowledge and expertise to guide families through the often overwhelming process of navigating senior living options.

    During the interview, Dave breaks down the different levels of senior living, from independent living to assisted living and memory care.

Dave also discusses the importance of being proactive in researching options, as well as the key questions to ask when evaluating a community.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone with aging loved ones or who is considering their own future senior living needs. Dave’s insights can help alleviate the stress and uncertainty of this transition, ensuring families make the best decision the first time. Whether you’re just starting to explore options or are in the thick of the decision-making process, Dave’s guidance can make a significant difference.

    To further support listeners, Dave has written a book titled “What Every Person Should Know About Senior Living Options.” This resource provides a comprehensive overview of senior living choices and can serve as a valuable reference guide. Listeners can connect with Dave by email at dholder@assistedlivinglocators.com to obtain a copy of the book and learn more about his services, which are provided at no cost to families.
