About Beacon Senior Advisors

It All Started with a Desire to Fulfill a Need

We here at Beacon Senior Advisors started with a desire to fulfill a need, a need that is becoming ever-prevalent in our society: A need to assist families in discovering quality care placement with the appropriate services for their senior loved ones who are facing challenges that arise during the aging process.

These may be physical challenges or challenges as a result of memory loss. Living independently, seniors may have difficulty taking care of household chores, preparing meals, participating in social activities, bathing, dressing, personal care and medication management.

Vision and Expertise, Couple with Experience

Our company originated with the vision and expertise of Robert Petroro, Certified Senior Advisor®, with in excess of 10 years of experience serving seniors and their families.

While working in corporate accounting, Robert had a strong desire to associate himself with an industry that would allow him to provide personal services to enhance and benefit the lives of others. Robert studied the needs of the expanding senior population and the lack of resources available to them. He discovered that there is a growing need for senior support services and he wanted to devote himself to filling some of those needs.

As a result, Robert left the corporate world and started Family First HomeCare. He built Family First HomeCare into a successful home care company serving the seniors of New Jersey. Now, with Beacon Senior Advisors, Robert is providing support services to seniors as they transition from independent living to Assisted Living.

Guidance for Seniors and their Families

Navigating the immense maze of senior housing options is a challenging, stressful and time consuming endeavor. In evaluating his characteristics, his personality, his heart, and his level of compassion, Robert knew he had what it takes to guide seniors and their families through this maze.

He wanted to help families find the best living arrangements for their senior loved ones and that is the basis of Beacon Senior Advisors. Robert has dedicated himself to the task and he has utilized his expertise to develop a system that alleviates the stress on families.

We have found that most families of seniors do not seek outside care until a crisis has occurred. Life-changing decisions often occur in sudden situations that are highly stressful – such as during or immediately after a serious illness or accident.

The burden falls on family members who may lack the time or expertise to evaluate Assisted Living Facilities for their loved ones, or those who simply do not know where to start or what to do.

Unlike other companies that simply provide a list of placement options to families, Beacon Senior Advisors is engaged and actively involved from the initiation of the process to the placement and beyond.

First, an assessment is performed. This gives Beacon Senior Advisors the ability to get to know you and your loved one. Knowing your loved one’s needs, wishes, characteristics and personality is important to finding the right Assisted Living Facility.

Options are then provided to you. A Beacon Senior Advisor will arrange tours of the facilities, personally accompany you on the tours and guide you through the challenging selection process.

After your loved one has moved into his or her new home, we visit and follow up to help ensure a smooth transition. We provide quality customer service, compassion, and loving care from start to finish.
