About our Guest: 

When families face the difficult transition of moving a parent or loved one from their home into an independent living, assisted living, or memory care community, the experience can be deeply emotional. It often brings feelings of stress, uncertainty, and even helplessness. Dave Holder understands this firsthand—when his own family realized that his father-in-law could no longer be cared for at home, they struggled with the overwhelming decisions that followed. Looking back, he wishes they had a trusted advisor to guide them through the process. That experience inspired Dave to dedicate his career to helping families understand their options, navigate the transition with confidence, and make informed financial decisions that ensure the best possible care for their loved ones.
