Jeff Hix writes about senior living with one goal: helping families, providers, and healthcare professionals make better decisions through transparency, education, and practical guidance.
After helping his father build, launch, and market an Assisted Living and Memory Care community in Southern California, Jeff developed a unique perspective on both the emotional journey families experience and the day-to-day realities senior living providers face.
Today, as Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Map Of Care, he writes about the ideas, trends, and practical insights shaping the future of senior living.
